The AASCA 2011 Annual General Meeting was held at Dandelion & Driftwood, Brisbane on 26th November. In addition to routine business:

• A new life member was appointed;
• A new set of AASCA objectives was endorsed;
• Amendments to our constitution were discussed about State chapters and Guilds (to be presented at a subsequent Special General Meeting);
• The Executive was asked to prepare a report to members on appointment of an Executive Officer.

Our new Executive is:

• President: Craig Dickson (Veneziano Coffee, Vic)
• Vice President: Penny Wolff (Dandelion & Driftwood, Qld)
• Treasurer: Cam Ballard (Coffee World, SA)
• Secretary: Peter Wolff (Wolff Coffee Roasters, Qld)

State co-ordinators were nominated, while the Executive will seek nominations from other States/Territories.

Special Thanks were given to the 2010 AASCA Executive (Bill Comley, Penny Wolff, Cam Ballard & Rob Forsyth), who again succeeded in raising the bar for specialty coffee in Australia.
