Last Friday, we sadly bid goodbye to Sam Gazdziak, a longtime editor on Independent Processor and The National Provisioner, and an all-around champion of the meat processing industry. His leadership has long guided our coverage of the smaller-scale, independent side of meat, poultry, and seafood, while also supporting the entire industry as a whole. He will be missed, and his body of work while at BNP Media will serve as a strong foundation for future work.
Thankfully, Sam is still in the industry, so he very well may cross paths with many in The National Provisioner audience in the future. His new role is communications manager for AAMP, the American Association of Meat Processors (read more about that move here, “AAMP hires new communications manager”). We wish him the best, and look forward to regularly collaborating with him and AAMP in the future.
