NCCIA members receive special rates on workshops and our annual conference. At the conference, we’ll offer professionally-led programs to discuss current industry topics, and you’ll have an opportunity to network with your peers. Members also have the opportunity to participate in our annual cheesemaking contest to win awards and cash prizes for top-graded cheeses.
