Blogger Appointed Director of SWRA
No word on but a press release has just been released that announces that Tom Wark has joined the As Executive Director.
Wark will lead the association as it works to build a national marketplace for retailer-to-consumer sales in the face of artificial and protectionist barriers to trade.
“Tom’s long background in wine marketing and communications and his keen understanding of the issues that confront wine retailers and consumers put him at the top of the list to lead SWRA,” commented Leslie Bergland, SWRA president. “We are excited because he brings an unquestionable commitment to creating open and fair trade for every sector of the wine industry from consumers and retailers to wholesalers and producers.”
The Specialty Wine Retailers Association is a nationwide collection of wine merchants, auction houses, wine e-tailers, catalogers and wine clubs. Founded in 2005, SWRA’s works in various legislative and regulatory arenas and by litigating to achieve its primary goal of replacing archaic and discriminatory laws that hurt consumers and retailers alike and to prevent new attempts by special interests to build more protectionist trade barriers.
