Mayor Joe Gunter Recognized for 
Leadership in AgTech

Salinas, CA -- On October 12, Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter was recognized by the Greater Sacramento Economic Council for the work done by the City of Salinas in the AgTech Sector, particularly in bringing the Forbes AgTech Summit to Salinas.

As noted in a letter to Mayor Gunter from Barry Broome, President & CEO of the Council:

"Congratulations for successfully bringing together leaders from across the national and world to your city once again. The energy, enthusiasm, and innovation that framed difficult conversations about our country's future and the role of Food & Ag to ensure it is promising was inspiring. Our Delegation was thoroughly impressed by your work - for this event, and for your community - and the positive economic momentum that you generate for Salinas, the Central Valley, and Northern California through your leadership day in and day out."

Mayor Gunter addressed over 160 attendees at the event at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UC Davis, and was presented with a California Jobs Hero Award.
