Nominations for 2022 American Cider Association Board of Directors Now Open

Running for the American Cider Association board of directors is a great way to get involved in lifting the industry up. The ACA is actively recruiting individuals from US-based cider companies to run for the board of directors.

These are volunteer positions with a three year commitment. Active membership of the association is required and candidates must be permanent employees or owners of active bonded-cideries to run. Board seats up for election this year include:

• “At Large” (Open to all regions and cidery sizes)
• LARGE Cidery (>1M gal produced in 2020)
• Southern Regional Chair (AL, AR, DC, DE, FL, GA, LA, MD, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV)
• Eastern Regional Chair (CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT)

Interested candidates should complete the self-nomination form by January 25:

Developing a more diverse and equitable cider industry and association is a long-term project that requires conscious iterative investment at every stage. Our board is actively working toward goal development in this area (read a blog post from our board vice president, Brooke Glover). We believe that representation matters in reaching those goals and we are thus encouraging diverse candidates including women, BIPOCs, LGTBQIA+, veterans and people with disabilities to run for the board of directors.
