WITH
TRADITION

its members and leaders. We have had so many successes
over the years that they are hard to list, but we know they

blessed with active membership and a dedicated board of directors
supported by a talented staff.

Foundation. Committed to developing talent for our members and the
industry, we also support individual members and university students
with scholarships and training through BEMA-U.
BEMA also provides an opportunity for members to give back to the
industry that has provided so much to them and their families. Our
members always say, "Yes." They get involved in BEMA committees,
the board, the Baking Industry Forum, IBIE, special task forces and
more. They give countless hours to strengthen and grow the industry.
I'm also proud to announce new opportunities for BEMA members

black-tie" Chairman's Dinner. This year, we will introduce the BEMA

BEMA members today as it was a century ago.
