SCAA members have voted in favour of unifying with SCAE, following the close of their vote on Friday 5th August. “With such a strong mandate from SCAE members earlier this year, and now with this mandate from SCAA members, we’re delighted to move forwards together to create a global future for speciality coffee on a local level” says SCAE Board of Directors in a statement.

“We would like to thank the SCAA members for their contribution to this process, and for making their voices heard over the future of their association and the wider speciality coffee community.

Now we will get to work on the next steps in this exciting process.  Over the remainder of 2016 a great deal of planning and preparation work will continue with both Boards of Directors, other volunteer leadership and executive staff to drive us forward to reach the stated vision to be an effective, dynamic, and authentic organization that gives voice and substance to the possibilities for speciality coffee worldwide.

We will continue to run as two separate organisations through the remainder of this year, as much focus is put on infrastructure and planning for a shared future.

However, we remain fully committed to open lines of communication with our members, and ensuring that members are the first to know as next steps are taken.  When something important is about to happen, you will be the first to know.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you as SCAE members for your patience and participation throughout this process, and we encourage you to continue that support and input as we move forward with the process.

We will be continuing our communications with you to ensure you are fully informed, and will continue to update www.scae.com/unification and offer updates across our social media channels.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email unfication@scae.com where a Board Member or member of the executive team will be pleased to respond to you.”
