ASEV’s Board and staff have invested months evaluating the
Society’s bylaws. The results are proposed bylaw revisions that
will be sent to voting members for their review and ratification.
As the organizational governing document, bylaws are instrumental
in enabling the efficiency and practicality of successful
operations. They also mandate aspects of transparency. Our last
bylaws revision was approved by the members in 2001.
The Annual Meeting in Napa provided many firsts for ASEV,
including successfully hosting a large event in the middle of a
wine region. The 60th Annual Meeting provided 800 attendees with
an exceptional and well-balanced program, offering a blend of the
latest research reports, innovations and practical applications
to its members.
Dr. Christian Butzke of Purdue University succeeded Opus One’s
Michael Silacci as the ASEV board president on July 1.
“Michael Silacci, in his focused, sophisticated manner, has led
an exceptional group of people who implemented a number of
innovative program concepts and ideas,” said Butzke. “It has been
an honor to work with him and to follow in his footsteps and
expand on what he has started during his term.”
Student achievements highlighted the evening at the
Student-Industry Mixer held at the American Society for Enology
and Viticulture’s (ASEV) 60th Annual Meeting last June 25.
Industry members mingled with eager students and their major
professors as they sipped on Napa Valley wines and toasted to the
future torch bearers who received scholarships and the winners of
the best student presentation awards.
Dr. Christian Butzke of Purdue University has been confirmed as
president of the 2009-2010 American Society of Enology and
Viticulture (ASEV). He will lead the 12-member board to build on
the success of Opus One’s Michael Silacci, the immediate past
president. Patty Saldivar, viticultural consultant, was also
confirmed as first vice president and Dr. Sara Spayd of North
Carolina State University was elected second vice president.
The Annual Meeting in Napa was a first in many regards and with
positive outcome. We are pleased to have delivered program
content for over 800 attendees representing many states and
countries, professions and academic institutions.
