Our Board

The Hop Forward Committee is a volunteer-driven initiative comprised of community members as well as people with first-hand experience working within the brewing and hospitality industries. The common bond is a love for craft beer and the acknowledgement of the necessity for change and progress.

Our Committees

The Hop Forward Board is supported by a passionate group of volunteer community members who hold roles on our committees. They support the goals of the Society in its committees: Events & Initatives, Membership & Community Engagement, and Marketing & Communications. Without them, this work wouldn’t be possible.
