2024 MWC Town Hall Session @ the NW Orchard & Vineyard Show

This is an industry discussion that is intended to bring Michigan wine industry stakeholders together to educate, debate, and plant the seeds of compromise on funding the Michigan wine industry interests of Research, Education, and Marketing in 2024 and beyond. We will be discussing recent legislation that has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives, educating on processes of Public Act 232,  and soliciting other ideas on how to fund the initiatives. Led by a moderator, there will be a panel of industry professionals discussing each unique perspective and experience as related to each of the topics. Panelist will include:

  • Nate Love from Kelley Cawthorne on behalf of the Michigan Wine Producer’s Association
  • Chad Reenders (via zoom) from the Michigan Blueberry Advisory Committee
  • Diane Smith from the Michigan Apple Committee
  • Michael Kaiser (via zoom) of Wine America
  • Morgen McLaughlin of the Willamette Valley Wineries Association & Willamette Valley Wine Foundation

Do you...

  • Have questions on HB 5270?
  • Concerns about PA 232?
  • Marketing strategy suggestions?
