As the first step in a multi-pronged plan to ensure long-term growth and stability, the California Grocers Association (CGA) has promoted three executives.
Jennifer Gold is now VP of people operations and administration, while Nate Rose has become VP of communications and public affairs and Beth Wright is executive director of events and sponsorship.

“Beth, Jen and Nate have proven they’re not only experts in their fields, but that they have tremendous leadership ability and still untapped potential. by charting their advancement we’re making sure cga continues to grow and serve its mission as a best-in-class organization,” Fong said.
