The New Jersey Food Council (NJFC) recently hosted its annual Golf Outing at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe, drawing the largest gathering of food industry leaders representing retail, manufacturing, distribution and convenience sectors from across New Jersey.
The Aug. 17 event fostered connections among executives, suppliers and associates from across the food industry.
“The camaraderie of the members at this outing is like no other food industry event,” NJFC President Linda Doherty said. “This enormously popular outing always brings out a wide variety of leaders and suppliers from across the sector.”
