In January, we announced the 2025 Class of NextGen Apple Fellows:
- Julieta Castillo, Marketing Coordinator, Superfresh Growers, WA
- Zachary Cohen, Sales, Cohen Produce Marketing, PA
- William Gant, Production Coordinator, CMI Orchards, LLC, WA

With the help of the USApple NextGen Advisory Committee, chaired by USApple Board member Liz Pauls, each fellow went through an extensive application and interview process. We received many highly qualified candidates this year. The class kicked off their program in Washington D.C. for Capitol Hill Day. We also introduced each fellow on our Instagram.
