For a quarter of a century, the Citrus Achievement Award has grown into the gold standard of industry recognition for those who have made and continue to make a significant impact within and even beyond the Florida citrus community.
The Citrus Achievement Award is presented to an individual grower, allied member, legislator, researcher or anyone else who stands out through leadership, innovation, dedication and active participation on behalf of the citrus industry.
We need your help to select the next honoree. Please let us know who the 2025 Citrus Achievement Award winner should be and why. If you have someone in mind, please email Frank Giles at Frank@AgNetMedia.com to submit your nomination.
The winner will be featured in the June Specialty Crop Grower cover story. Subsequently, the award will be presented during the Florida Citrus Industry Annual Conference in June. As always, we thank you for your feedback and time in helping celebrate the finest Florida citrus has to offer.
Last year’s winner, Brenda Eubanks Burnette, helps preserve the heritage of the industry through her leadership of the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame and has been a long-time author of the popular Pieces of the Past column.
Candidates should meet the following requirements for consideration:
- Be actively involved with citrus production as a grower, packer/processor, marketer, industry stakeholder or researcher
- Have had a measurable impact on the citrus industry within the last three years
- Be actively involved in one or more citrus industry organization or association
- Have demonstrated commitment to the future of the Florida citrus industry, notwithstanding personal gain
- Be a leader who is recognized and respected by industry peers.
The deadline for nominations is March 14, 2025.
