The CGA Educational Foundation Hall of Achievement is a prestigious award program developed to honor those who have contributed substantially to the benefit and advancement of the California food industry.

The Hall of Achievement provides the food industry with the opportunity to recognize the achievements of those individuals who, through their foresight and dedication, have enhanced California's food-distribution industry. They are people who have made a difference. Nominees must meet the following requirements:

  • Participate in major fund-raising campaigns and community charitable events.
  • Involve themselves in humanitarian and cultural causes and enhance community education, and
  • Volunteer for charitable and civic programs.
Award receipients are recognized at the annual Hall of Achievement Awards dinner held each Spring. The dinner serves as the Foundation's primary fund raiser to supports the Career Development, Scholarship and Educational Programs.
