ACSA Strengthens Membership and Editorial Teams with Key Staff Changes

Washington, D.C. (June 9, 2025)—The American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) is excited to announce some key changes to its team aimed at strengthening member engagement, expanding community outreach, and further elevating the craft spirits industry. 

Jon Page, formerly ACSA’s Senior Editor, has been promoted to the role of Senior Manager of Membership & Marketing. In this role, he is responsible for strengthening member engagement, expanding the association’s community, and leading marketing efforts for ACSA’s key programs—including its annual convention, spirits competitions, legislative fly-in, and more.

“For the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of telling the stories of craft spirits producers through the digital pages of CRAFT SPIRITS magazine, on The Craft Spirits Podcast, and beyond,” says Page. “I am constantly inspired by their creativity, dedication, resilience, and passion. It’s an honor to now step into this new role at ACSA, where I’ll continue working to champion this vibrant community and help our members thrive in an ever-evolving industry.”

To continue the mission of ACSA and CRAFT SPIRITS, Sydney German has been appointed to the position of Associate Editor. In this role, German will work closely with Editor in Chief Jeff Cioletti and members of ACSA to promote the efforts of independent craft distillers by contributing to the publication of the bi-monthly magazine, newsletters, website, and podcast. German added, “I am excited and honored to join the inspiring work of ACSA and be a part of the production of CRAFT SPIRITS.” 

Before joining ACSA, German received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a focus on Creative Writing from the University of Mary Washington and her Master of Arts in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College. While receiving her degrees, she published a novella and worked as a development editor for multiple independent authors. She has also worked on other publications, including being an editor of the inaugural issue of Dulcet Literary Magazine. While at Dulcet, she initiated efforts to expand its reach to writers and readers; for example, the virtual author readings and the Creatives Interview Series.
