Nominations are open to join the Australian Specialty Coffee Association (ASCA) Competitions Committee.
The ASCA Competitions Committee is an active committee that meets monthly throughout the year, either in person or via teleconference, to guide the professional and effective management of our regional and national competitions.
As a working committee, all members volunteer in some capacity to help improve the competitions, while also working together to take on industry feedback and implement practices to help run a successful competition year. The committee’s ultimate goal is to run the best competitions in the world, for all stakeholders involved.
Any member looking to get further involved in ASCA is encouraged to nominate to join the committee as General Members, or even sign up for a special project being directed by the committee.
To join as a general member, you must meet the following criteria:
- Make yourself available for a monthly meeting (or more as required) either in person or via teleconference
- Not be a competitor or direct coach for the current competition year
- Hold a valid ASCA membership
- Have some past involvement in competitions, either at the competitor, coach, judge, or volunteer
- Be willing to contribute approximately 15 hours throughout the year of volunteer service to support committee activities.
There are a number of key positions in the committee, that are open to any General Member who has served for one year on the committee, or has a strong history of volunteerism in past competitions. Current vacant positions include:
- Competition Manager: Duties include attending every regional competition, ASCA to cover flights and accommodation
- Western Region Competition Manager.
