CBA Fall Meeting Theme Is ‘Committees in Action’

The 101st Cookware & Bakeware Alliance Fall Member Meeting will take place Oct. 4-5 in Chicago. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Committees in Action.”

At the meeting, CBA members will be participating in one of the newly organized committees based on the four pillars of the Alliance: Engineering, Engagement, Education and Expertise.

“We believe that member engagement is key to our success and that working together the Alliance can accomplish great things for cookware and bakeware,” says CBA Managing Director Fran Groesbeck.

Each committee has a specific focus and objective during their sessions at the Fall Member Meeting. Committee members will create action plans that will guide their work in the months ahead.

In addition to the work of the committees, the general meeting is the opportunity for committee members to report their accomplishments and share plans for the future to the rest of the membership.

This is an excellent time to become a member of the Cookware & Bakeware Alliance and engage in the new initiatives outlined in their 5-year strategic plan being implemented by committee members. Member types include: General, Supplier, Retailer and Associate.

The CBA is regarded as a vital housewares trade association, delivering critical industry resources and serves as a voice of authority and influence uniting the industry by setting engineering standards for product and consumer safety. CBA members have a voice in how the standards are developed to help make cookware and bakeware products safe for the consumer.
