Meet the 2021 SCA Poland Chapter Committee
SCA members in Poland cast their ballots in the 2021 elections to select their new leadership.
Today, we are pleased to welcome the SCA Poland Chapter’s new committee:
National Coordinator: Katarzyna Zyzało-Moczydłowska
Community Coordinator: Magdalena Chylińska
Education Coordinator: Krzysztof Blinkiewicz
Events Coordinator: Aleksander Krzych
Marketing & Communications Coordinator: Marcin Rzońca
Voting took place only for the National Coordinator position. All other coordinator positions were uncontested— with only one nominee per position— and therefore there no voting was necessary for those positions.
Special thanks to all nominees who put their name forward in this election and thanks to SCA members for their commitment to the SCA Poland Chapter. We urge the community to please continue to support the committee in their upcoming two-year term.
We wish the new committee every success with the continued development of the local coffee community. As a reminder, you can learn more about the roles and responsibilities of each position on our website.
