WINE WOMEN president Christine L. Mueller summed up the past two years’ accomplishments, “We’ve been thrilled by the support of the wine industry and growth of our membership. It’s been very gratifying to hear stories from our members about the high value they’ve received in participating in our programs. Our first two years have been challenging, but we’re excited for the organization’s growth and next steps with the addition of new programs.”
The gourmet reception and dinner, prepared by sponsor Boisset Collection’s Atelier Fine Foods & Catering, will mark WINE WOMEN’s second anniversary as a 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.

ABOUT WINE WOMEN MEMBERSHIP
Membership Director, Maureen Bragg, outlined WINE WOMEN’s membership offering: “Because our organization is focused on professionals working in and around the wine industry, we’ve developed our benefits solely around their needs to accelerate and advance their careers.” She continued, “That begins with the opportunity to participate in WINE WOMEN’s peer group forums as well as volunteer on projects, and attend events at discounted rates. We encourage both women and men, of legal drinking age, to join the organization if this is part of their objectives for their careers. In addition, we offer a host of benefits to raise our individual members’ profiles within the industry to build strong, lasting relationships that lead to career advancement.”
Ms. Bragg further explained other membership levels to dovetail with the offerings of Individual Membership: “These days we have large companies with hundreds of employees working at many wineries under their ownership. Our Corporate Membership is geared to take advantage of these corporate structures with volume buying power. In essence, our Corporate Membership offers all the benefits of Individual Membership, plus discounts on the individual membership for multiple employees. From as few as two to twenty or more employees, we offer tiered discount levels to match the corporation’s number of employees who become members in our organization. Corporate Membership also provides the benefits of brand building and exposure by offering opportunities to sponsor programs and events as well as speak directly to our individual members.” Additional membership types are also available.
