"It is a privilege to serve as president of the WSWA. Following in the footsteps of so many leaders before me, I will focus on ensuring that the WSWA remains resourceful, agile, and dynamic—a true ally to our members as they confront challenges and discover opportunities in an ever-evolving industry," said Cutter Smith.
The new president takes the helm as the WSWA continues to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment, driven by the economic pressures facing the U.S. spirits market.
"I look forward to working alongside Cutter in this role, bringing his experience, vision, and commitment to advancing the interests of our members and strengthening the industry," said Francis Creighton, WSWA Executive Director.
