The Bread Bakers Guild of America is a nonprofit membership association—an independent and creative group of current and aspiring bakery owners, professional bakers, ingredient and equipment suppliers, educators, students, serious home bakers, and more. We are dedicated to producing great baked goods and committed to the health of our businesses, workers, and communities. Our mission is to support the sustainability and prosperity of the artisan baking industry through education, training and community building.  We offer classes and programs in baking techniques and in the business of baking and create opportunities for peer connections and learning. 

Our Education and Events Manager develops and delivers impactful, relevant and responsive programs including in-person and virtual classes and events such as our triennial educational event, Camp Bread.  They work with our partners and sponsors to develop collaborative educational offerings and develop Guild education for industry events such as IBIE and the Bakery Showcase.  In addition, the Manager oversees our Artisan Baker Certification Program which establishes and measures the skills of professional artisan bakers through written and practical testing.
