La \u201cpareja poderosa\u201d de la industria floral\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Durante m\u00e1s de medio siglo, los Garc\u00eda se han esforzado por mejorar la industria floral. Con Brenda S. a su lado, pudieron hacer crecer la Pete Garcia Company\u2122, Grupo Garc\u00eda<\/a>,<\/strong> y muchas otras empresas mientras encuentran formas de devolver a la industria floral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pete y Brenda contribuyen desinteresadamente a la Fundaci\u00f3n Floral Americana (AFE). Al asistir a todas las telemaratones de la AFE, los Garc\u00eda expresaron sus creencias en la AFE y el impacto que las donaciones a la Fundaci\u00f3n tienen en la industria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pete se convirti\u00f3 en miembro de la junta directiva de AFE cuando el nombre era Society of American Florists Endowment (SAFE). Como presidente de Relaciones P\u00fablicas, Pete sugiri\u00f3 el cambio de nombre de SAFE a AFE para no confundir a los donantes. \u00c9l y Brenda presidieron la Cena del Centenario de AFE de 1984 durante la feria comercial de la WFFSA para crear conciencia sobre AFE en el sector de art\u00edculos duros de nuestra industria. Pete tambi\u00e9n se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como secretario de AFE de 1989 a 1993 y luego como presidente de 1993 a 1995. En 2020, la familia Garc\u00eda estableci\u00f3 el Fondo de Becas de la Familia Garc\u00eda<\/strong><\/a>, que apoya a estudiantes universitarios con enfoques profesionales en la comercializaci\u00f3n o distribuci\u00f3n de productos florales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La participaci\u00f3n de la familia Garc\u00eda en la industria no se limita de ning\u00fan modo al tiempo dedicado a la AFE. De hecho, la participaci\u00f3n de Pete comenz\u00f3 en 1973, cuando form\u00f3 comercial de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Floristas Mayoristas y Proveedores de Florister\u00eda (WFFSA), lo que le llev\u00f3 a formar parte de la junta directiva y, posteriormente, a presidir la feria comercial en 1976, para luego convertirse en presidente de la WFFSA entre 1979 y 1980. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1No termina ah\u00ed! Afortunadamente, el entusiasmo de la Familia Garc\u00eda tiene ra\u00edces en muchas organizaciones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El hermano de Pete, Ram\u00f3n, era muy activo en las juntas directivas de AFE y SAF, y desempe\u00f1\u00f3 varios cargos. Sus hijos, Mike y David, continuaron con los dedicados esfuerzos de \u201cDevolver a la comunidad\u201d sirviendo a WFFSA, y David lleg\u00f3 a ser presidente. David tambi\u00e9n ocupa actualmente un mandato de dos a\u00f1os como presidente de la Junta Directiva de AFE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su familia extendida no solo respald\u00f3 estos esfuerzos, sino que tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 asumiendo roles de liderazgo para hacer crecer nuestra industria. Darin Dewberry es un ejemplo, ya que forma parte de numerosos comit\u00e9s y es el expresidente inmediato de WFFSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay muchas historias de \u00e9xito de productores, minoristas, mayoristas, fabricantes, log\u00edstica, seguros, transporte, soluciones t\u00e9cnicas e importaciones (tanto de productos frescos como de mercanc\u00edas duras) hasta el \u00e1mbito acad\u00e9mico. Imag\u00ednese si cada persona, grupo o empresa pudiera contar como un contribuyente. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bf$100? \u00bf$1.000? \u00bfO m\u00e1s? <\/em>\u00a1Qu\u00e9 \u00c1rbol de la Uni\u00f3n tan exitoso ser\u00eda ese!

Los Garc\u00eda piden que usted considere apoyando a AFE y financiando el futuro de la floricultura.<\/strong><\/a> Recuerda, todos los regalos hechos antes del 31 de diciembre tienen el triple de impacto gracias a una igualaci\u00f3n de donaciones especial. \u00a1Gracias!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
