At this year's ACS 2024 Annual Conference, we had 3 recipients of the Meritorious Service Award. This award was created in 2022 and is presented to ACS Members who have distinguished themselves by outstanding meritorious achievement or service to ACS or the cheese industry as a whole. Adam Moskowitz received one of the Meritorious Service Awards! From his nomination: "There is no one in the US cheese industry who has taken as personal or as passionate a role as Adam in my own growth and opportunities in the world of cheesemongering, and I know without a doubt that he would – and constantly does – offer the same support and advocacy to anyone in the country who sees fit to reach out to him. Adam’s inspiring words, his energy, his drive to elevate great cheeses, cheesemakers, and cheesemongers – they all serve as a guiding light for many of us. An award like this would bring well-deserved recognition to Adam, who would undoubtedly turn that recognition into yet another opportunity to direct a spotlight even more brightly onto the efforts of so many others in the cheese world.” Congratulations, Adam! #acsannualconference #cheesecamp #acs2024annualconference #americancheesesociety #cheeseforreal #meritoriousserviceaward

At this year's ACS 2024 Annual Conference, we had 3 recipients of the Meritorious Service Award. This award was created in 2022 and is presented to ACS Members who have distinguished themselves by outstanding meritorious achievement or service to ACS or the cheese industry as a whole. Juliana Uruburu received one of the Meritorious Service Awards! From her nomination: "Juliana's list of accomplishments and skills in the cheese industry is extensive—her exceptional palate, experience judging for ACS, contributions to the Certified Cheese Professional exam, and induction into the Guilde Internationale des Fromagers are just a few highlights. However, what truly sets Juliana apart and makes her deserving of this award is her genuine character and values. Juliana is the embodiment of mentorship. She has a remarkable ability to connect with people and unite them across the cheese industry. Juliana's expertise extends beyond cheese; she is a skilled educator, networker, and industry leader; she is passionate about sharing her knowledge and love for cheese. This includes moments like me shadowing her at my first American Cheese Society conference, toddling timidly behind her while she showed me the ropes or while hosting formal cheese classes for both industry professionals and cheese enthusiasts alike." Congratulations, Juliana! #acsannualconference #cheesecamp #acs2024annualconference #americancheesesociety #cheeseforreal #meritoriousserviceaward
