8 IGSA | 2018 2018 YEARBOOK A HEARTY WELCOME Dear colleagues and friends, On behalf of the Idaho Grower Shippers Association (IGSA) board of directors, I want to welcome you to the 90th annual IGSA convention in Sun Valley, Idaho. Over the years, the IGSA has built the annual convention into the premier event for the Idaho potato industry. We continue that tradition this year with a schedule packed with outstanding educational seminars and important industry updates. Many of our panelists and speakers have traveled a significant distance to ensure we receive the most timely and relevant information to the potato industry today. This year's entertainment is sure to impress as well. You won't want to miss hearing from the chef with an unbelievable story, seeing the artist with over 190 million internet views, or laughing with one of the country's top comedic voices. The IGSA annual meeting is also a place for celebration and networking. We have many incredible members who have experienced remarkable success, and together we celebrate that success. Make sure to join us for the Friday golf tournament at the Sun Valley Golf Course, and finish off a wonderful event by attending the chairman's banquet as we honor Dale Mickelsen, the 2018 Russet Aristocrat award recipient. The IGSA is honored to hold this event for all our members and partners. We believe there is strength in numbers, and with your help, together we will continue to influence positive change. The importance of gathering each year cannot be overstated, and we thank you for making the time to be here, renew friendships, network, discuss important issues and celebrate our successes. Thank you for your continued support of the IGSA and our 90th annual convention. Best regards, Weston Crapo Weston Crapo Sun-Glo of Idaho Chairman, IGSA Board of Directors CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
