“International Confectionery magazine is proud to announce that Courtney Gaine, Ph.D., R.D., President and CEO of the Sugar Association (Washington, D.C.), has been appointed as a judge for the International Confectionery Awards, one of the industry’s most respected celebrations of excellence and innovation in confectionery.
Dr. Gaine has led the Sugar Association since January 2016, combining a passion for baking and science with a mission to educate the public about sugar’s role in a balanced diet. Her career reflects deep commitment to bridging the gap between food science, nutrition, and consumer understanding. She has served as President of the Home Baking Association Board of Directors (2019–2022) and as Chairman of the World Sugar Research Organization Board of Directors (2021–2023).
Dr. Gaine commented: “I have always viewed my work at the Sugar Association and the impact we are trying to have as a marathon, not a sprint. There are generations with a fear of real sugar because the dialogue they have been exposed to has been a sensational one, with basic facts on sugar and its role in a balanced diet missing. While it can be daunting to think about the educational challenges ahead, I am excited to see that Americans increasingly want information that helps them make smart dietary choices.””
