North American Cheeses in the News
Cheese is a hot topic right now. From award winners to ACS members who are trying new techniques, we have a roundup of articles of interest.
Over the next several months, CheeseWire Monthly will include a column devoted to answering your questions and keeping you informed on the ACS Judging and Competition. We're responding to many of you who expressed opinions and concerns at both this year's Town Hall Meeting in Austin and in the Member Survey that followed.
Many thanks to the 287 members who participated in the 2009 Member Survey. Your thoughtful and enlightening feedback was essential in identifying initiatives during the Strategic Planning session in late October.
The four focus areas that emerged -- Organizational Structure, Data Management, Communication and Product Development -- were driven by survey data and reflect a desire to better serve the needs of members and our industry now and into the future.
To view the results and see what your fellow ACS members are saying, check out the survey results here.
