Wine Women Finance ForumSonoma, California | August 29, 2016: WINE WOMEN, a new, nonprofit professional trade organization focused on advancing women’s careers in the wine industry by fostering and nurturing talent, providing networking and training opportunities, as well as advocating for better opportunities for women in this industry, will launch its Finance Forum on Thursday, September 8th, at WALT Wines, in Sonoma at 9:30 a.m. The meeting is open to women and men, finance and accounting professionals connected to the wine industry with a focus on the CFO or Controller level employee.

ABOUT THE MEETING

Attendees will have an opportunity to network with finance and accounting professionals in the wine industry and explore ways in which they can expand their collective knowledge and leverage their relationships to enhance their careers.

At this first meeting, attendees will discuss why a focused networking group can be the stepping stone to something greater and/or more fulfilling for their career. They will also explore which finance and accounting topics are of greatest importance to them and their colleagues as well as determine the parameters for future meetings. Topics for consideration include: budgeting and benchmarking, compliance, the finance of M&A, financing growth, measuring ROI and more.

The WINE WOMEN Finance Forum strives to foster members’ professional growth while providing the opportunity to share skills within the group. They will explore interactive case studies, speaking opportunities and more throughout the year.

“We’re excited to get our Finance Forum underway since many of our members work in this field of the wine industry. Given the array of finance topics, from budgeting to inventory, and nuanced topics such as LIFO, 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 are members’ top priorities for future meeting discussions, as well as mapping out when to tackle each issue.” 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: Finance Forum Launch.
