The Brewers Association Board of Directors has several standing committees that work with members and staff to focus on specific areas to help achieve association goals. Committee chairs determine committee rosters and primarily draw committee rosters from the brewery members. Committee involvement or experience as an officer in a state brewers guild is a prerequisite for a brewery member to run for election to the board of directors.
