Nominate dairy industry leaders for 2020 WCMA recognition awards
The awards will be presented at the 2020 CheeseExpo.
The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA), Madison, Wis., is calling for nominations of individuals to be considered for formal recognition in 2020 for their outstanding contributions to the dairy processing industry. WCMA members have through Friday, August 16 to make their recommendations.
The WCMA Cheese Industry Champion award is given to industry leaders who, through their everyday business decisions, have created tremendous opportunity for others and spurred industry growth. People to be considered are the CEOs, directors, presidents, and vice presidents of their companies who may not have cheesemaking obligations but lead and direct resources, WCMA said. In 2019, Dave Fuhrmann of Foremost Farms USA and Lou Gentine of Sargento Foods were honored with this award.
