“These awards are our way of acknowledging the hard work and exceptional customer service of our members,” said CAAR President and CEO Delaney Ross Burtnack. “It’s important to recognize exceptional efforts, share successes, and help each other to overcome challenges. In doing so, we grow as a community, and improve our ability to support the industry that feeds the world.”
