MADISON — The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) board of directors has selected eight individuals to be recognized at the Wisconsin Cheese Industry Conference in April 2017 for their outstanding work in the dairy manufacturing industry.
“The multibillion dollar cheese industry in the United States was built on high-quality products made by the very best people. It’s important that we recognize those men and women for the way they’ve contributed to our industry’s tremendous success,” said John Umhoefer, WCMA executive director. “The 2017 honorees are an especially deserving group, and we’re pleased to show them our appreciation.”
Ken Heiman will receive the association’s highest honor: the WCMA Life Member Award. WCMA has offered the Life Member Award since 1918, and Heiman will be the 85th recipient. The award recognizes people who have played a significant role in the success of the association through leadership, support, and service to this institution and its activities.
