ORLANDO, FL The produce industry gathered in force the first week in March at the Southeast Produce Council's Southern Exposure 2022 conference and trade show to celebrate "The Marvel of Produce" and reconnect in person with colleagues and friends. For many attendees, it was the first time they had seen one another in a couple of years, as the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic finally seems to be in the rearview mirror.
Bobby Creel of L&M Cos. Inc. has been one of the guiding lights at the Southeast Produce Council since its earliest days, offering advice and counsel to its leadership, beginning with the council's key founder and first executive director, Terry Vorhees.
This March, the council will recognize him for all that he has done by presenting him with its highest honor: the 2022 Terry Vorhees Lifetime Achievement Award.
