As of 1 January 2017, the unification of the Specialty Coffee Associations of America and Europe (SACC and SCAE) has taken a significant step forward with the unveiling of its new title, Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
The new SCA will bring together the functions and activities of the SCAA and SCAE to promote the growth of the specialty coffee industry around the world.
“Built on foundations of openness, inclusivity and the power of shared knowledge, we act as a unifying force within the specialty coffee industry – invested in creating a worldwide circle of like-minded professionals,” the SCA said in a statement.
“Representing a global pool of experience and talent, we are our members and together we work towards a better, more sustainable future for each and every one of us – wherever in the world we are.”
The SCAA and SCAE’s members voted in 2016 to unify the two organisations. The decision was made in order to offer members more value, more resources, and more opportunities to connect, learn and grow.
The SCA says it will take time to update all of its resources, but has already begun the transition of its social media pages, and website.
