What is a LIVE technical committee?

LIVE is first-and-foremost a technical certifying organization that must meet the evolving needs of its membership. To remain a responsive body, LIVE has employed the use of regional technical committees to address issues dealing with sustainability, chemistries, key pests, and other non-administrative issues.

Currently, LIVE has sanctioned four technical committees. The vineyard certification program currently consists of three - Western Oregon, Central and Southern Washington, and Eastern Oregon and Washington. The winery certification program currently consists of one based in the Willamette Valley.

The regional nature of these committees allow for timely and informed responses to membership as the LIVE program grows to include diverse areas of the northwest. If you are unsure of which technical committee you should refer to, please contact the LIVE office.
