“Selling out this year’s Women of the Vine & Spirits Global Symposium to 700 attendees in only 24 hours was a telling sign that women in our industry are thirsty for education, advancement and support,” said Founder & President, Women of the Vine & Spirits Deborah Brenner. “We are proud to announce the formation of this Foundation which will continue to advance and bolster women in our industry for years to come.”
The Foundation offers scholarships each calendar year to recipients of either a Professional & Leadership Development Scholarship, which will cover costs of attending the Vine & Spirits Global Symposium, or an Educational Scholarship to either an academic program or continuing education program in the food, wine and hospitality industries. Applications are now being accepted with the deadline to submit, June 1; recipients will be selected July 15, 2017.
