The Leaders Behind Your Voice
Meet the CAWG Board of Directors
At the heart of CAWG is a dynamic group of grower leaders who guide our mission and amplify the voice of California winegrape growers. Our Board of Directors is made up of 27 elected growers from throughout the state, each bringing deep experience and a passion for the future of the winegrape industry. Directors serve three-year terms and may be re-elected for up to three consecutive terms.
To ensure broad representation and expertise, the board may also appoint at-large directors who add value to the industry.
These dedicated individuals shape the policies, priorities, and advocacy efforts that make CAWG the only statewide organization solely focused on winegrape grower issues. Get to know the people working hard behind the scenes to support, protect, and elevate California’s winegrape community.
