“We are pleased to extend our sincerest congratulations to our Vice President, Merari Villatoro, on her recent selection and appointment to the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Grocers and Convenience Store Association.

With over 20 years of experience in the wholesale and distribution sectors, Merari stands out not only for her unique approach to brand development and product positioning, but also as a dedicated advocate for the Latin community. Her commitment to empowering Latinos has led her to serve on the Board of Directors of the nonprofit organization Conexion Americas, as well as participate in the Latino Business Action Network program.

Her appointment to the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association underscores her dedication and leadership and serves as a testament to her ability to break barriers. As the first Latin woman to join the Board, we are confident that her involvement will significantly strengthen minority representation and pave the way for future generations of Latinos in our industry.”

As members of Ethnix Group, we are thrilled by this well-deserved recognition and are certain that she will make a significant impact in this new role, continuing to inspire and lead by example.
