Green Career Week - Virtual Roundtable

Virtual Event - August 30, 2023 at 2:00 PM

Whether you’re working with flowers, ornamental plants or produce, this webinar is for you! Join other industry professionals and Seed Your Future for an exclusive cross-segment discussion with growers, wholesalers and suppliers to discuss how to build a pipeline of labor on a local level. During this one-hour virtual gathering, attendees will receive a brief update on production, logistics and manufacturing trends, followed by a quick economic outlook from Chief Economist Charlie Hall, Ph.D., the Ellison Chair of Floriculture at Texas A&M University. Then, attendees will hear from Seed Your Future Executive Director Jazmin Albarran about the organization’s Green Career Week initiative designed to help industry businesses engage with students. Several Green Career Week participants will share how the program has helped them build relationships with schools and students and offer tips to others about how to get involved.


The Society of American Florists will manage the webinar, but it's open to all horticulture sectors. If you've never logged into SAF's website, simply create a username and password on safnow.org, and then you can register for the event for free.
