Cindy Sorensen

Hi, I’m Cindy Sorensen, the “retail guru” and vice president of strategic information and relationship management for Midwest Dairy Association. Why do they call me the retail guru? After 28 years of sales experience with Nestle, Minute Maid and Cadbury, I have learned a thing or two about grocery stores. In addition to my retail responsibilities with Midwest Dairy, I also consult with many dairy industry partners and provide them with strategic information which will help them grow their dairy product volume, which in turn sells more milk for the dairy farmers of the Midwest. I enjoyed selling chocolate and orange juice, but I sure am glad I entered the dairy business. I am honored to represent the hard working dairy farmers of the Midwest and consult with retailers on their behalf.

Like you, I am constantly on the go. Whether it is racing to another meeting, getting my two sons from one activity to the next, or training for my next half marathon, my body starts to wear out. This is where dairy comes in. I attribute my boundless energy to healthy eating habits (including nutrient-rich dairy products) and exercise.

I am going to combine my knowledge of the grocery business and the shopping experience, along with my knowledge of the benefits of dairy to provide advice to you to make good decisions in the grocery store. Our goals are the same. We want to provide the healthiest and most economical food choices for ourselves and our families. My experience in the grocery business will help you do that.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling to new places, running, attending my sons’ baseball and basketball games and playing in my church’s handbell choir.
