Amy Cohn has two sets of shoes to fill. In January she was appointed president of the Cherry Marketing Institute (CMI) and the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (CIAB) — the first individual to hold both roles. She was introduced to members of the cherry industry at the Northwest Michigan Orchard and Vineyard Show held Jan. 14-15 at the Grand Traverse Resort.
Cohn made herself available, speaking during the CMI luncheon and in small groups to inquisitive audiences. She found time to provide her first interview with the Leelanau Enterprise. She spoke to special contributor Alan Campbell.
Enterprise: At the cherry industry luncheon, you looked ready to perform cartwheels on the stage when introducing your vision to growers and processors. Is that your normal energy level?
