JULY 4, 2022. BY LODI WINEGRAPE COMMISSION.
The Lodi Winegrape Commission’s Board is comprised of nine volunteer Commissioners and an additional nine Alternates. The Board supports the Commission’s mission statement:
“To empower all Lodi Crush District 11 winegrowers and serve their common interests to enhance the profitability of winegrape production through promotion, research, and education.”
We’d like to thank exiting Board member Bruce Fry of Mohr-Fry Ranches, pictured above with his family, for eight concurrent years of service to the Lodi Winegrape Commission Board (2014-2022). It takes a lot of dedication to actively serve on the Board and we are very grateful for the generosity of your time and leadership. Among many other achievements – such as acting as the Interim Executive Director and assisting with LODI RULES improvements – Bruce can be credited with initiating the Lodi Winegrape Commission Annual Meetings we’ve enjoyed since 2019.
Please join us in welcoming the Lodi Winegrape Commission’s 2022-2023 Board of Commissioners & Alternates.
