WELCOME TO THE CITRUS SHOWCASE President's Message I would like to thank each one of you for joining us at the 2023 Citrus Showcase and our sponsors for making this event possible. The CCM team and I are thrilled about this year’s event. Not only are we back in full force after three years of pared-down shows due to COVID-19, but we have also expanded the Showcase thanks to our new partnership with JCS Marketing Inc. Working with JCS to plan and execute Showcase has allowed us to give the industry a higher level of content and deliver an expanded agenda to bring resources and information to the citrus industry on critical topics that impact our businesses. I believe our lineup of panel discussions, seminars and continuing education courses has something valuable to offer everyone.

Our day kicks off with an update on the State of the Citrus Market followed by sessions on IPM, pest and disease research, new regulations in labor, and of course, water. We also hope you will take a walk through our tradeshow featuring over 100 vendors, where you will find a variety of exhibits bringing you the latest in agriculture technology and information.

I am particularly excited about today’s industry luncheon featuring our keynote speaker, Gregg Doud. As Vice President of Global Situational Awareness & Chief Economist for Aimpoint Research, and former Chief Agricultural Negotiator for the United States Trade Representative, Gregg will offer valuable insights into global markets and outlooks for agriculture trade.

The day will wrap up with a new industry mixer for networking opportunities and the chance to engage with friends and colleagues. We hope to see you there and enjoy the show!

Joe Del Bosque, Farmer, Former California Water Commission Member Joe Del Bosque’s Mexican-born parents were migrant farm workers in the 1930s and 1940s.

In the 1950s, his father Jose landed a permanent job as a cantaloupe grower, and Del Bosque was raised on the farm, where he started working at age nine. When he started his own career in agriculture, Del Bosque functioned as a custom farmer, running farming operations for others. In 1985, he established his own farm. Today, Del Bosque’s Firebaughbased operation spans 2,000 acres, about half of which are leased. He grows almonds, cantaloupes, honeydew melons, asparagus, cherries and tomatoes, 300 acres of which are organic. Joe was a two time appointee to California’s State Water Commission.

Tim Quinn, Former Executive Director of ACWA & Metropolitan Water District Deputy General Manager Tim Quinn has help transform California’s water management, including passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 and enactment of Proposition 1, the $7.5 billion general obligation water bond overwhelmingly approved by California voters in November 2014. He played a key role in developing the California Legislature’s historic 2009 comprehensive water package, which ushered in a new era in water policy focused on the coequal goals of improving the state’s water supply reliability and restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta ecosystem.

His leadership has also included his involvement in developing the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, the 2000 CALFED Record of Decision, the 1995 Monterey Agreement, the 1994 BayDelta Accord, and the 1991 Governor’s Drought Water Bank. Other accomplishments include successfully negotiating numerous water marketing agreements and legislative initiatives.
