INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL COLLABORATION

We recently hosted a delegation from our colleagues from DISCUS. They were able to share key insights in policy formulation, stakeholder engagement, member services, government lobbying and industry trends. Last year DISCUS hosted a delegation of Australian producers at their annual conference and the offices in Washington.

Distilled Spirits Aotearoa welcome us at their Annual conference where we were able to share our insights from the Australian perspective and have a better understanding of the New Zealand experience. We have a lot of very similar policy issues. We share FSANZ, and workplace health rules. We have similar issues of market access and excise challenges. We regularly invite the DSA to attend the ADA conference, and we continue to the partnership.
