It’s official! The 2020 Coffee Technicians Guild slate selection process has come to an end. CTG members have confirmed the slate of six professionals put forward by the CTG Elections Committee and presented to members on November 5.

Please welcome the newest members of the CTG Leadership Council:

  • Kurt Benedict, President/Technician at Last Man

  • Rachel Dickinson, After Sales Technical Support at La Marzocco

  • Ann Halsne, General Manager/Co-owner at Sproparts

  • Scott Manley, Technical Support Supervisor at La Marzocco

  • Anthony Ragler, Regional Developer at Black & White Coffee

  • Melissa Vaiden, Service Technician at Counter Culture Coffee

As communicated via email to CTG members on November 24, the 2020 CTG Leadership Council election was uncontested, with an equal number of candidates and open seats, so there was no need to proceed with the usual voting process. Members were asked to confirm or reject the slate and provide comments by December 7. 100% of CTG members who responded voted to confirm the slate. Thank you very much for taking part in this process.

The CTG Leadership Council consists of 12 volunteer members who serve a 2-year term, supported by the SCA staff. Kurt, Rachel, Ann, Scott, Anthony, and Melissa will serve two-year terms from February 2021 to January 2023.
