UMBA Announces New President

The Upper Midwest Baker’s Association (UMBA) announced Denis Wesenberg as a new president of the association of bakers, cake decorators, bakery employees, food service personnel, and partner businesses involved in the baking industry.

“I am excited about the possibilities I see ahead for the Upper Midwest Bakery Association and look forward to working with all new and current colleagues making “destination: success, reality,” Wesenberg says in his message.

His bakery career started as a clean-up worker and he has been working in the whole bakery processing from bench-hand to director marketing and technical training/sales.

Wesenberg was elected at UMBA annual convention 2018.

“I have observed how flexible this industry can be, with a variety of changes in our business environment [stemming from] ingredient demands, customer demands, energy demands, employee demands and legislative demands. Please take advantage of all the possibilities, innovations and training that you experience and are presented at our conference,” Wesenberg says.

The UMBA held its annual convention, March 3-4, in River’s Edge Convention Center, in St Cloud, Minnesota, USA.
