OTA’s Annual Meeting is one of the many important events OTA has on tap for its members as part of Natural Products Expo East. OTA is your trade association, and we encourage you to come listen, share your ideas, and get involved in our work. Hosted by OTA’s Board of Directors, the Annual Meeting highlights Association accomplishments and invites members to weigh in on a collective vision for the future of the organic sector. The program is always productive, interesting, and interactive. Our Annual Meeting is also where we announce “OTA’s Member of the Year” award to recognize engaged long-time members who actively serve on OTA task forces and standing committees, participate in OTA events, and serve as overall ambassadors for OTA and the industry. You don’t need a ticket to come to the Annual Meeting, and stay for complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prior to our ticketed celebration honoring the 2016 Organic Leadership Award recipients. Both OTA’s Annual Meeting and the Annual Awards Celebration that follows will be held off-site in Baltimore’s Columbus Center.
