ASB Board of Directors

The ASB board of directors takes great care in making strategic and operational decisions that advance both the ASB organization and the broader baking industry. Each director is a volunteer nominated by the ASB Nominations Committee and elected by the society’s membership. Elections occur annually at the Meeting of Members held in conjunction with BakingTECH.
