Programs described in its return (3)
- To promote the Commonwealth craft distillers both inside and ouside the Commonwealth, the Guild will produce brochures, press releases, a website and events that will highlight the Commonwealths distilleries and the benefits to the State agriculture industry. These activities put the Commonwealth distilleries in front of a broad range of people who are potential customers of these products. These activities may be initiated by the Board of Directors and carried out by subcommittees, independent contractors or Guild volunteers.
- The Board of Directors may initiate activities that help the members operate at a lower cost, operate more efficiently, or operate faster. These activities may include bulk material purchase of bottles and cork; putting together a resource guide of supplies and seeking out new suppliers.
- To improve the business environment for the Commonwealths distilleries, the Guild will work with regulatory bodies such as the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, the Commonwealth Legislature, and the Federal Alcohol and Tax and Trade Bureau. The Guild will work with these and other agencies in a two way exchange of ideas and discussion of issues to improve the business environment of the Commonwealth distilleries. The Guild will work to improve member awareness of environmental, health and safety issues. These activities may be initiated by the Board of Directors and carried out by subcommittees or other designees.
