News BA Board of Directors Election Begins as Association Faces Pivotal Year

The 2024 Brewers Association (BA) Board of Directors election is open for member voting and runs through November 13th. The board will have a pivotal role in the future of the association as it hires a new leader for the association in the wake of BA President and CEO Bob Pease’s retirement. The Board will also be tasked with defining a path forward to represent an industry that is struggling with declining sales and waning consumer interest.

Voting members of the association will have the option to vote online or by mail-in ballot.

Four board positions are open: two for the packaging brewer class, one for the pub brewer class, and one for the taproom brewer class. Positions start in February 2025.

The Board of Directors governs all activities of the BA, including the Craft Brewers Conference and Great American Beer Festival.

Only one ballot per member brewing company will be counted (not one vote per location). Each voting member brewery should only vote in one category. If you are unsure which category is correct, you can vote in all three and the BA will review your ballot and retain the votes in the correct category.

For a list of candidates, a video intro to each and to vote go here.
