Portland, Oregon (December 18, 2013) – The Alliance for Coffee Excellence unveiled its new 2014 membership offerings just as it celebrated the opening of a new Portland, Oregon office. “I am excited to be able to tailor the membership categories and benefits to different segments of the industry as well as develop greater excitement and buy-in for the different projects that we have planned for the near future” says Anna Abatzoglou, Marketing and Membership Manager for The Alliance. “The main spotlight will always be on members’ desire to join the Cup of Excellence® program and to enjoy these exquisite award winning coffees, however, the value of membership goes well beyond this and includes discounts, professional training and marketing support.
