Conference Organizing Committee
- Since its inception in 1937, the Tobacco Workers' Conference (TWC) has been hosted and organized by a single university or entity, with a rotation through the tobacco states, and periodically in Canada. As our industry continues to evolve, so is our organization. Therefore, it was decided that beginning with the 48th TWC (2018), the conference organization would be managed by an inter-university committee representing various states, tobacco types and academic disciplines.
- The 50th Tobacco Workers' Conference Organizing Committee members are:
- Andy Bailey, University of Tennessee/University of Kentucky
- Grant Ellington, NC State University
- J. Michael Moore, University of Georgia
- Bob Pearce, University of Kentucky
- David Reed, Virginia Tech
- Will Snell, University of Kentucky
- Matthew Vann, North Carolina State University, Committee Chair
- Mitchell Richmond, University of Tennessee
- Zach Hansen, University of Tennessee
This Conference Organizing Committee is responsible for the oversight of the conference as a whole. The Technical Program is managed by an associated Program Committee composed of Chairs, co-Chairs of the five sections that make up the conference.
