The Board of Directors of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has approved a slate of candidates, as recommended by the Nominating Committee, for the 2019–2020 Board of Directors elections.
The elections process for the 2019–2020 SCA Board of Directors is the first to take place at board level since the unification of the SCAA and SCAE in 2017.
Dozens of SCA members responded to the call for nominations, and over the month of July, the Nominating Committee interviewed each candidate and evaluated its selections based on a competency, geographic, and membership representation, and experience.
In line with the SCA’s diversity and inclusion values, the committee also sought balance in gender and generational representation as well as the inclusion of people of color.
The SCA Board has nominated: Asli Yaman of KiMMA Coffee Roasters, Pamela Chng of Bettr Barista, Katie Booser of Bellwether Coffee, Khalid Al Mulla of Easternmen Trading, Vava Angwenyi of Vava Coffee, and Vera Espindola Rafael of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food in Mexico (SAGARPA).
The candidate profiles are available at SCA’s website. Candidates will present themselves during a special on Monday, September 17, 2018. Registration for the webinar is open at this link.
