Ken y Deena Altman de Altman Plants han sido nombrados ganadores del Premio Embajador de la Fundaci\u00f3n Floral Estadounidense<\/strong>, un reconocimiento que celebra su liderazgo, defensa y dedicaci\u00f3n de larga trayectoria a la industria floral. Su excepcional compromiso con el avance de la misi\u00f3n de la AFE fue reconocido formalmente la semana pasada durante la Reuni\u00f3n de la Junta Directiva de la Fundaci\u00f3n en Sacramento, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establecido en 2023, el Premio Embajador de la AFE honra a personas y organizaciones de la industria floral que ejemplifican un liderazgo, una defensa y un servicio excepcionales a la misi\u00f3n de la Fundaci\u00f3n. Para Ken y Deena Altman, esa misi\u00f3n ha sido una prioridad compartida a lo largo de sus carreras, reflejada tanto en su \u00e9xito profesional como en su apoyo constante y generoso a la investigaci\u00f3n, la educaci\u00f3n y la innovaci\u00f3n en la floricultura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sobre Ken y Deena Altman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ken y Deena comenzaron su amor por la industria en 1975, con lo que comenz\u00f3 como un inocente pasatiempo. Con el tiempo, esa pasi\u00f3n creci\u00f3 hasta convertirse en Altman Plants<\/strong><\/a>, ahora el mayor productor hort\u00edcola de los Estados Unidos. A pesar de su magnitud, la empresa sigue siendo de propiedad y gesti\u00f3n familiar, guiada por los mismos valores que moldearon sus primeros d\u00edas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devolver a la comunidad floral siempre ha sido un aspecto central del enfoque de los Altman. Su participaci\u00f3n en la AFE abarca d\u00e9cadas e incluye defensa, apoyo financiero y servicio de voluntariado. Ken form\u00f3 parte anteriormente de la Junta Directiva de la AFE, incluyendo un mandato de dos a\u00f1os como tesorero y como presidente del Comit\u00e9 de Educaci\u00f3n y Becas. Sigue colaborando como evaluador de becas y como miembro del comit\u00e9 de investigaci\u00f3n, puntuando y aportando informaci\u00f3n importante sobre las solicitudes cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El compromiso de los Altman tambi\u00e9n se evidencia en su inversi\u00f3n directa en futuros l\u00edderes de la industria. Altman Plants recibe regularmente a pasantes preseleccionados por AFE en sus instalaciones, ofreciendo a los estudiantes una experiencia pr\u00e1ctica y significativa en la producci\u00f3n de plantas y una introducci\u00f3n directa a las carreras en la floricultura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hace once a\u00f1os, Ken y Deena fundaron el Beca de la Familia Altman<\/a><\/strong> a trav\u00e9s del AFE para apoyar a los estudiantes de posgrado que cursan estudios avanzados en floricultura o horticultura. Desde sus inicios, la beca ha brindado asistencia financiera a m\u00e1s de 25 estudiantes, ayudando a respaldar a muchos de los investigadores y educadores en floricultura m\u00e1s brillantes de la actualidad. Esta beca est\u00e1 ayudando a aliviar la carga financiera de la educaci\u00f3n superior y a alcanzar sus metas profesionales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEs dif\u00edcil medir el verdadero impacto de Ken y Deena en AFE dadas todas las numerosas formas en que han apoyado a la Fundaci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo David Garc\u00eda, presidente de AFE. \u201cHan creado un legado duradero al invertir en j\u00f3venes profesionales y fortalecer el recurso m\u00e1s importante de la industria, su gente\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altman Plants fue un socio fundador de Sustainabloom<\/strong><\/a>, el programa m\u00e1s nuevo de AFE enfocado en la educaci\u00f3n sobre sostenibilidad y en ayudar a las empresas flor\u00edcolas a conocer y adoptar pr\u00e1cticas m\u00e1s sostenibles. Ken forma actualmente parte del Comit\u00e9 de Sustainabloom, ofreciendo perspectiva y orientaci\u00f3n moldeadas por d\u00e9cadas de experiencia en la industria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Junta Directiva de la AFE se siente honrada de reconocer a Ken y Deena Altman con el Premio Embajador por su liderazgo, compromiso y continua dedicaci\u00f3n no solo a la AFE, sino a la industria floral en general. \u00a1Felicitaciones y gracias a ambos!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
