Working for the common good

摘要

Scott Smith has been a long-term leader of tree fruit industry groups. Scott Smith has gone out of his way to serve the tree fruit industry over the past 25 years. A long way out of his way. Smith, who lives in Tonasket, Washington, and whose orchardsare a stone's throw from the Canadian border, was a trustee of the U.S. Apple Association for 20 years and chair of the organization in 2005-2006. It was a commitment that involved countless trips across the continent to Washington, D.C. During those two decades, Smith gained a sound understanding of politics and their influence on the industry, but he valued most of all the opportunity to get to know apple growers across the nation.
