Help Us Celebrate the People Behind American Cheese

The ACS 2026 Annual Conference is just a few weeks away. On Friday, July 10, from 12:15 to 1:15 PM ET, we will be streaming the Recognition Lunch live on our ACS YouTube channel.

The ACS Industry Awards are our way of honoring people who have spent their careers moving the industry forward, promoting American cheese, or giving their time to help the association as a volunteer. Tune in as we announce this year’s recipients for the ACS Industry Awards, including:

• Lifetime Achievement Award — honoring an individual whose career has made a lasting impact and demonstrated distinguished service to the American cheese industry.
• Meritorious Service Award — honoring an individual whose selfless leadership, mentorship, or advocacy has strengthened the cheese community.
