Business Resource Groups

Business Resource Groups

MAKE CONNECTIONS. COLLABORATE. COMMIT TO ACTION.

Women of the Vine & Spirits Business Resource Groups give members an opportunity to share their experiences, connect with one another and build community. Sharing views, experiences, ideas and information is instrumental in creating a more equitable, inclusive and diverse beverage alcohol industry. 

WOTVS BRGs provide a platform for individuals working across beer, wine & spirits to connect with likeminded colleagues, network, share resources and more! If your company does not already have an Employee Resource Group (ERG) or Business Resource Group (BRG), lean on our WOTVS BRGs to find community, to listen and to learn. 

Women of the Vine & Spirits is rooted in respect for the inherent dignity of each person. We foster a community that does not discriminate, or tolerate discrimination by any member of the community, against any individual.

Business Resource Groups are not intended for public relations purposes, and solicitation of services and products is not allowed.
