"What's New?"

Have You Gifted Your Wholesale Baker Postcard?


As part of ASB's baker recruitment efforts, ASB mailed all members two (2) "Wholesale Baker" membership postcards applications, plus we included postcards in all BakingTech 2013 attendee registration packets.

If you still have postcards in your possession, we encourage you to distribute these free memberships ($185 value) as gifts to your baker clients and/or colleagues who are employed by wholesale bakeries.

ASB also offers a "Wholesale Bakery Employee" application, which is available for download.  If you've used your postcards, but have additional bakers you wish to invite then please take advantage of this resource.

Please note that the "Free First Year Membership" is only for employees of wholesale bakeries.  Employees of allied organizations are not eligible for the promotion, but benefit from having more ASB baker members with whom to network.

Hall of Fame Nominations

The Baking Hall of Fame is an initiative of the American Society of Baking to recognize industry innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.  The individuals selected into the Hall of Fame are recognized for their achievements in organizational growth and development, equipment design and innovation, advancements in ingredient technology and processing or related service to the commercial baking industry.

Nominations for the 2014 Hall of Fame are now being accepted.   If you nominated someone for the 2013 Hall of Fame, you do not have to re-nominate them.  If you completed a preliminary nomination form at the Hall of Fame table outside this year's MarketPlace, please complete the formal nomination. 

Nomination forms can be downloaded here.
Bakery Photo Contest

ASB is looking for the perfect bakery and allied photographs that capture the baking industry.  The chosen picture will be used on the postcard promotion during IBIE and will be featured on our new website.  The winning photographer will receive complimentary registration to next year's BakingTech.  Other submitted photographs will be used on our website and in future promotions and brochures.  Please include where the picture was taken (city, state, company and facility) and what is shown in the picture. 

Send your best photographs of your bakery or your ingredient/equipment production facility to ASB's Membership Manger (and judge) Amanda Gonzalez at agonzalez@asbe.org by May 15.

Quote: Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. -Arnold Bennett

Quip: Without change there will be no progress and we will be stuck living in the past.  No change is without some discomfort and uncertainty, and that's the price of moving forward.
