摘要

One cannot help but notice Ava Alcaida's intense concentration as she is fed an almost unmanage-able amount of information about the Cotton Research and Promotion Program as part of the orientation process for her new appointment as an adviser to The Cotton Board.Alcaida was appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to an advisory position as part of The Cotton Board's initiative for diversity and inclusiveness.
