The National Coffee Association announced today that Doreen Madigan has been promoted to Director, Events and Member Services.

In her new role, Ms. Madigan will continue to oversee all aspects of the coffee industry’s premier gathering, the NCA Annual Convention.  In addition, Ms. Madigan administers the operation of the NCA’s sister organization, the Green Coffee Association (GCA), where she serves as Corporate Secretary. 

Her responsibilities at the GCA include oversight of the industry arbitration system, as well as the industry contract form, which together have become the standard for coffee trading, and for resolution of disputes.
