Produce Distributors Association
The Produce Distributors Association (PDA) has appointed Joseph Procacci III, vice president for business development at Procacci Holdings Company in Philadelphia, as a new member on its board of directors.
Procacci replaces Mike Maxwell, who spent many years helping PDA rise from a grass-roots advocacy group to become the leading organization representing wholesale receivers across the U.S. Maxwell recently retired as president of Procacci Bros. after more than 40 years in a variety of leadership roles.
His successor on the PDA board, Procacci, joins a leadership group representing distributors that includes Chairman Matthew D’Arrigo of D’Arrigo Bros.; First Vice Chair John Vena of John Vena Inc.; and fellow members Carole Shandler (SGS Produce); Rob Strube (Strube Celery & Vegetable Co.); William Class III (The Class Produce Group); John McClelland (Liberty Fruit Co.); and Ken Whitacre (Produce Business/Phoenix Media Group).
