FORT WORTH, Texas (April 9, 2010) -- Doug Renfro, president of Renfro Foods, was
honored on April 9 with the Chapter Honoree Award from the Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS)
business honor society chapter of the University of North Texas (UNT). Doug is a
1984 graduate and a member of the business honor society.
"Doug's outstanding service to the community and to UNT, coupled with his ethical
leadership were among the many characteristics that influenced our decision in honoring
him," says Lisa Russell, doctoral candidate in Management at UNT and past president
and current vice president of BGS.
"Doug Renfro personifies the success of many University of North Texas College of
Business alumni who worked part time and commuted while attending and still managed
to graduate with honors from a challenging program," notes UNT Director of Development
David Broughton. "It is obvious that Doug brings a strong business acumen to his
family business and it appears that Renfro Foods is flourishing and growing. In
many ways, Doug is perfect for this Beta Gamma Sigma Honors Society Chapter Award
as he represents the principles of the Society in his daily life, family, and career.
And, on top of that, my family loves his company's products! Now all we have to
do is talk him into re-naming his Verde Salsa to "Mean Green Salsa"!
"This award is a wonderful honor," Renfro said. "But I have not earned it alone.
Everyone at Renfro Foods plays an integral part in how the company conducts itself
and is viewed by our community and loyal consumers."
The mission of international honor society Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and
honor academic achievement in the study of business, to foster personal and professional
excellence, to advance the values of the society, and to serve its lifelong members.
