Given the wide array of specialties, from strategic planning to social media, and the rapidly changing dynamics in wine marketing, the group will have endless possibilities for focused, valuable meetings,” explained Forums Director, Jackie Egidio. She continued, “This first meeting is designed to determine what areas of wine marketing are members’ top priorities for future meeting discussions, as well as mapping out when to tackle each issue for the remainder of the year.” In addition, guests will have the opportunity to network with attendees.

The meeting is open to members and non-members alike. Advance registration is required. Details and registration: Marketing Forum Launch. Guests are asked to bring a bottle of wine to share. Light nibbles will be provided.

ABOUT WINE WOMEN FORUMS

WINE WOMEN Forums are career development tools for women (and men) in the wine industry. Each forum is profession- or topic-driven, such as finance and accounting, human resources, winemaking, marketing, and other facets of the business. Additional forums are in the planning stages for other peer groups, such as management and operations. Eligibility to join a forum is established by each forum’s membership. Forums are open to both women and men (unless otherwise stated). Advance registration is required.

“We have had great success in this first half of the year with WINE WOMEN,” stated Linda Higueras, chair of the Founding Human Resources Forum and chair of the Forums Advisory Council. “I just attended WINE WOMEN’s formal launch celebration and am delighted to assist the other six forums, including the Marketing Forum, get underway with this new trade group,” she explained. “We have numerous tools to aid forum chairs in launching and managing their groups so that each meeting can be the most productive and fruitful for members.”

ABOUT WINE WOMEN

WINE WOMEN’s mission is “To champion the advancement of women’s careers in the wine industry by building strong relationships, essential business skills and leadership among members.” At the core of the new 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional organization’s activities are programs focused on providing the tools, guidance and creativity for members to attain industry prominence.

WINE WOMEN president, Christine L. Mueller, summed up the launch of the new organization, “It’s exciting, but it’s also daunting. We would not have undertaken such an enormous challenge to launch a new organization geared towards advancing women’s careers in the wine industry if we did not already have the strong support from a number of industry leaders and members. Their support and encouragement has been vital in inspiring us to take the leap to build this new organization.”
