2021 Karl G. Habib Honorary Wine Scholarship Application Application Guidelines
Background
Karl Habib was a member of the NJCMA Board of Directors and the Chairman of the NJ Club Managers Wine Society. He currently serves on the CMAA International Wine Society Board of Managers. Karl's vision was to raise funds to provide a scholarship opportunity to an aspiring Club Manager who was passionate about wine and eager to increase their wine knowledge.
Hosting winemaker luncheons has been a successful way for the committee to raise funds for the scholarship, as well as providing members with continuing wine education opportunities. The purpose of Karl G.
