Central Valley Ag honors employees for years of service

Central Valley Ag (CVA) proudly recognized employees for their dedication and commitment during the cooperative's annual retreat in La Vista, Neb. The Kentucky Derby themed event brought together CVA team members from across the region to celebrate milestones. Employees have upheld CVA's mission of working together to create value and solutions for its farmer-owners. 

Employees reaching significant service anniversaries were honored with Years of Service Awards. Those individuals were recognized for their hard work and contributions to CVA's continued success from five-year honorees to employees who have dedicated several decades to the cooperative. Individuals were recognized for their impact in supporting local farmers, strengthening rural communities, and upholding the cooperative spirit. 

"Our employees are the foundation of Central Valley Ag," said Nic McCarthy, president/CEO of CVA. "Their dedication to our member-owners and to community is what continues to drive our cooperative forward." 

The Employee Retreat also featured leadership insights, professional development sessions, and opportunities for team-building, enhancing CVA's commitment to investing in its individuals. 

Central Valley Ag extends its gratitude and appreciation to all employees for their dedication and continued success.
