    • What does the Board of Directors do?

      Board members propel the mission, vision, and values of the MN Craft Brewers Guild. Members of the board should bring their perspective and experience to think strategically, provide input on important Guild initiatives, and make decisions that benefit all craft breweries and brewpubs in the state of Minnesota. 

      The Guild's board is not a working board, concerned with the daily operations of the Guild. Rather, they are a strategic leadership board. You may view our current board here.

       

      How does the Board of Directors represent Guild members?

      The MN Craft Brewers Guild is made up of 165+ brewery and brewpub members throughout the state. Our Board of Directors is designed to represent various membership identifies, including production model, distribution model, location, and size. In 2021, Guild members voted to change our organizational bylaws to expand the Board of Directors to 9 members, and specify the importance of a diverse array of viewpoints represented on the Board of Directors.
