Hi, I’m Eric Dell and I’m excited to be the new President and CEO of the American Bakers Association.
I have received so many warm welcomes already from many of the members, and I’ll be visiting with members throughout the course of the entire year in 2023.
If I don’t see you over the course of the first couple of months, I will look forward to seeing you at Convention.
If you don’t hear me talking a lot, it’s because I’ll be listening a lot. I’m going to listen to the industry to learn the industry so that I can best serve the industry and move the industry forward with the competent and professional ABA staff.
