Industry Partnership Committee (IPC)

The primary purpose of the Industry Partnership Committee (IPC) is to provide a structured feedback loop between the Oregon Wine Board (OWB) and Oregon-based industry associations (including cross border AVAs), as well as provide a scheduled, safe space for open, free-flowing discussion in forums and task groups that offer insights for OWB programs.

The IPC also provides a forum where all marketing and advocacy associations involved in the growth of the Oregon wine industry can share their priorities and mutualize our efforts.

Meeting agendas, recordings, and notes are available upon request.

Send your request to Celine Fauveau

Chair: Justin King
Co-Chair: Gina Bianco
