 Under Construction
 The United States Sommelier Association and the American Sommelier Association are currently sharing a reciprocity program that will further develop into one national organization boasting thousands of members and two major wine schools in the north and south of the United States.
 To obtain more information about developing a chapter in your state or a wine school certification workshop, please contact the US Sommelier Association at

Chapter Criteria:
All chapters are independent not-for-profit business entities incorporated in their home state. They will follow a set of common by-laws utilized by the national organization.
Accounting and legal responsibilities are managed by the individual chapters with a model developed by the national office in Miami or New York.
Each chapter will have its own board of directors. Membership and event committees must be formed and staffed to operate the administration for local activities.
 |
 One elected official from the Executive committee (recommended to by the local president) will represent that chapter at the annual national meeting in Miami every winter and at our annual sommelier seminars in Napa, Sonoma and Livermore counties, California in the summer growing season.
The board needs to consist of a percentage of active sommeliers and the remaining board can be consist of hospitality, consumers or wine industry personel.
Each chapter is required to have at least one paid employee that will administer local financial activities to the national administrator. |
