Elizabeth Smart

A relatively new member of the Rivermaid team, Liz continues a five-generation family tradition in production agriculture. It was while she was earning her Business degree at California State University, Chico, that Liz found herself taking classes on fruit and nut production – classes that captured her imagination and introduced her to “a fascinating industry with many moving parts.”

Today, she puts her industry experience and communication skills to work for Rivermaid Trading Company – an organization she says she is “very proud to work for, handling the product from the ground to the shelf.”

She’s especially happy to be working with growers, shippers and packers, contributing to the smooth operation of the supply chain. Her key contribution? Connecting with our customers.

“It’s important to make strong connections with customers, and let them know we value their role in the process,” she says.

When she’s not working with Rivermaid growers, packers and shippers, Liz can be found on the slopes snowboarding, working in her yard or simply enjoying time with her family.
