In 2011, Secretary Ross was appointed by Governor Edmund G. Brown as California\u2019s Secretary of Agriculture, and she was reappointed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her tenure at CDFA has been marked by significant progress in sustainability, food security, and agricultural innovation. Secretary Ross\u2019 inclusive and collaborative approach to policymaking has made her a friend of stakeholders across the agricultural spectrum. Under her leadership, California&#8217;s agriculture industry has thrived while simultaneously addressing environmental concerns and ensuring the well-being of farmers throughout the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Secretary Ross&#8217;s visionary approach and collaborative nature, both during her tenure as President of<br>CAWG and demonstrated through her leadership as Secretary of CDFA, have paved the way for the<br>continued success of California\u2019s winegrape industry,&#8221; said CAWG president Natalie Collins. &#8220;As we approach the celebration of CAWG&#8217;s 50th anniversary in 2024, honoring Secretary Ross as our Leader of the Year holds a special significance.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy first reaction was to be embarrassed because I don\u2019t feel worthy of this award, knowing some of the<br>past recipients include past chairs, legends, and icons in the industry, and I thought holy cow \u2013 I\u2019ve always<br>gotten to do what I loved and I always told people that was the best job that I have ever had,\u201d said Secretary Ross. \u201cBut, receiving this award is such an honor, and I am truly humbled that the people I got to work for, and I got to serve, all these years later still think of me as worthy of this honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAWG is also honoring Sangiacomo Family Vineyards of Sonoma County as its 2024 Grower of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The awardees will be recognized at CAWG&#8217;s &#8220;Awards of Excellence&#8221; reception in January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a news release by the California Association of Winegrape Growers CDFA Secretary Karen Ross has been honored as the 2024 Leader of the Year by the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG).
