ORLANDO, FL - We’ve all heard the saying “the more the merrier,” and this is especially relevant in terms of adding new leaders to a team. The National Mango Board (NMB) just got a whole lot merrier with the recent addition of new officers. The new leaders were elected last month during a board meeting held via teleconference. As dedicated members, the NMB officers will fulfill their duties and responsibilities by leading the board in accordance with the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996, and the Mango Order.

“We congratulate and thank the newly elected officers for their commitment to the NMB and the mango industry,” stated Manuel Michel, Executive Director. “Their experience and leadership is invaluable to the NMB and is key to moving this organization forward as we continue to strengthen and support both fresh and frozen mango.”

According to a press release, Jojo Shiba of San Diego, CA, will serve as Chair, and Clark Golden of Vineland, NJ, as Vice Chair. Serving as Secretary is Rodrigo Diaz of Culiacan, Mexico, and elected as Treasurer is Marsela McGrane of Los Angeles, CA.

The NMB officers, together with the rest of the board members, will continue to uphold the NMB’s mission to increase consumption of mangos in the U.S. by bringing the industry together and educating consumers about the flavor, nutrition, and health benefits of mangos.

Congratulations to these new National Mango Board leaders!
