FMI Taps Darnell for Member Services

ARLINGTON, Va. — Food Marketing Institute here on Wednesday said it has hired Lucas Darnell as a director of member services.

Prior to joining FMI, Darnell was a longtime employee of the American Frozen Foods Institute. At AFFI, he worked across multiple functions in the organization, including industry and legislative affairs, and ultimately, member services.

In conjunction with AFFI, Darnell was also the interim executive director of the National Frozen Pizza Institute, a national organization dedicated to advancing the interests of the frozen-pizza industry.

“Lucas’ communications skills and deep roots in industry services will broaden the scope of FMI’s membership department,” said Dagmar Farr, senior vice president of member services at FMI. “We believe his long-standing dedication to this industry will translate to increased opportunities for FMI members.”
