Jason and his wife April
Over the past five years Jason Dominy has served the Barista Guild.  First as a Chapter Representative, then as an Executive Council member and most recently as the Chair of the Executive Council. Jason has spearheaded our focus on larger member engagement, continuing to build the barista community nationwide.  After nearly a year of serving as Chair, Jason has resigned his position to focus on his family and position at Batdorf & Bronson. 

The membership and the Executive Council will miss Jason’s leadership and dedication.  His enthusiasm and passion have driven his advocacy for the guild, and for the barista profession.  This enthusiasm has been especially apparent in his efforts like the “5 Questions” articles, and organizing Manual Brew Downs.  Jason’s tireless efforts have been a huge contribution to the accomplishments of the BGA.  On behalf of the Barista Guild of America thank you Jason, for your distinguished service, support, and continued participation.
