Deputy Administrator David Wulf Speaks at Beer Institute Event
TTB Deputy Administrator David Wulf spoke at the Beer Institute’s Annual Meeting, held earlier this week in Washington, D.C.
During the meeting, Wulf had the opportunity to chat with Mary Jane Saunders, Beer Institute VP and General Counsel, about TTB’s recent accomplishments during the global pandemic, as well as a few challenges that may be looming, including TTB taking over some of the excise tax administration on imported wine, beer, and spirits from Customs and Border Patrol.
Wulf appreciated the in-person format of the session and the opportunity to engage with Saunders and attendees face-to-face, allowing him to expand TTB’s understanding of industry issues, as well as communicate our goals and priorities.
