Overview

CMAA’s International Wine Society is fortunate to have in its membership managers who volunteer to serve as Chapter Representatives. The Wine Society instituted the chapter representative position so it can successfully reach CMAA members through the chapter structure and assist them in wine education. Thanks to those who’ve agreed to help us meet this objective.

The Society was founded in 1988 by a small group of club managers to meet the growing need among CMAA members to learn about wine and understand its many complexities. Now 400 members strong, we gather a few times annually to share our appreciation, expand our knowledge, enjoy the expertise of international wine experts and taste some of the world’s finest wines. The society’s mission is to not only provide these opportunities to its members, but also to reach out beyond our membership to help club managers enhance their appreciation of wine. And this is where Chapter Representatives come in.

The Wine Society truly looks forward to working with the Chapter Wine Representatives. For starters, we have provided each with a handbook of resources and guidance on how to conduct wine tastings, organize wine-related education sessions and plan for a wine dinner, as well as contact information for wineries. This information can serve as a guide in planning chapter and club wine education for the year. The Wine Society will be pleased to offer as much guidance as required to make this program a success and encourage managers to understand and appreciate wine.
