ASB Begins Search for
Full-time Director

During its BakingTech 2010 conference, ASB formed a subcommittee to review whether the society should be led with shared leadership or whether ASB warranted a full-time executive director.  The subcommittee recommended a full-time leadership position which was approved by the Board of Directors.

After two years under shared leadership with BEMA, the American Society of Baking has begun accepting applications for a full-time executive director.  ASB has been led in a part-time role by Kerwin Brown, the president and CEO of BEMA, the Bakery Equipment Manufacturers and Allieds Association, since 2008.  “Kerwin has provided invaluable leadership during these past two years,” notes Rowdy Brixey, ASB’s current chairman. “Brown was there for ASB when we needed him most.”

The Society formed a search committee in April 2010 for the purpose of accepting and reviewing applications for the new ASB executive director position.  Search committee members have signed confidentiality agreements with ASB to insure all candidates can submit their application in strict confidence. 

Applicants can go to www.asbe.org for information on submitting their confidential application for the position.
