NSF and Paragon Partner to Develop Next Generation of Food Industry Leaders

ANN ARBOR & NOVI, Mich.—NSF International, a not-for-profit public health and safety organization, has partnered with Paragon Leadership International, a Michigan-headquartered leadership development firm, to launch a new series of food safety leadership forums –– The Food Epprentice Experience.
The forum was created to further develop the talents and social contribution of Michigan’s future food industry leaders. Participants will collaborate to create sustainable, innovative solutions to critical challenges such as: increasing public knowledge of safe food handling procedures; expanding agriculture as an economic driver in Michigan; increasing the supply of locally-produced, nutritious food to Michigan food banks; and creating workplace strategies to reduce childhood obesity. Additional Food Epprentice partners include Michigan Farm Bureau, Food Bank Council of Michigan and Michigan Nutrition Network.
The first one-day forum will take place October 1 at NSF headquarters in Ann Arbor, Mich. for which businesses may select emerging leaders within their organization. More information and registration is available at  http://www.paragon-lead.com/food/.
