The official countdown is on for the March 20 deadline for nominations for Progressive Grocer’s 2017 Top Women in Grocery awards program, which recognizes the integral role women play across all segments of the retail food industry.

Progressive Grocer will present this year’s slate of Top Women in Grocery in its June 2017 issue, which will be devoted to showcasing overall excellence and continued achievement among female movers and shakers in the North American retail food industry. All Top Women in Grocery winners will also be recognized at an evening gala awards celebration in Orlando, Fla., in early November.
