**Rebecca Robinson** will retire as executive director of Zinfandel Advocates & Produceers effective June 30\. 

During her tenure, ZAP became the leading voice for Zinfandel—championing Zinfandel preservation, advancing education, and building a deeply engaged community of producers and enthusiasts. 

“It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as Executive Director of ZAP for the past three decades,” said Rebecca Robinson. “Together, we have built a remarkable community—one rooted in friendship, shared passion, and a deep respect for Zinfandel and the people behind it. I am incredibly grateful to our Board of Directors, our winery partners, sponsors and our advocate members for their unwavering support and belief in this mission.”

ZAP also announces the retirement of **Glenda Cunningham**, who has served as Winery and Sponsor Manager for 17 years. Glenda played a vital role in cultivating partnerships, helping shape the collaborative spirit and success of ZAP’s programs and events.

As part of this transition, ZAP will continue under a streamlined organizational structure managed by **Jesmine Reymond**, ensuring continuity across membership, communications, and events. Jesmine has been with ZAP for the past four years and brings strong operational experience, along with a deep understanding of the organization’s programs and community.
