The National Coffee Association (NCA) has named a Next Generation Council to help meet the challenges facing today’s coffee industry.
Council members, who must be younger than 39 years of age, will take on special assignments as they increase their involvement in NCA and further develop their leadership skills. The intent is “to open NCA’s leadership ranks to the young men and women who will take us into the future,” said Bill Murray, NCA president and c.e.o.
Members include: Frank Gaviña, F. Gaviña & Sons; Brandon Jackson, Brown Brothers Harriman; Zach Olsen, BUNN-O-Matic; Colleen Higgins, Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee; Joe Masucci, COEX Coffee International; Chris Hampson, Morgan Stanley; and Samantha Keane, Balzac Brothers & Co.
