The Roots of Inclusion: Centering Community & Belonging in WA Wine

Wednesday, February 12

8:30a.m – 10:00a.m. | Three Rivers EFGH Classroom

The Washington wine industry has evolved and expanded its reach in the last few decades, standing on solid ground as a leader in wine, and a destination for wine lovers. In an industry that was built on generations of exclusivity, it is imperative that we intentionally practice inclusion through building bridges across the varieties of difference to ensure that WA wine continues to grow and center community and belonging in all aspects of our operations. Join us in this panel session where you will hear from WA wine industry leaders, who are breaking barriers and leading the way in inclusion and belonging in our state. They will touch on everything from diverse representation, retention, community and customer engagement, accessibility and how to intentionally focus on diversity, inclusion and belonging in WA wine. Just like our wine, we want to continue to grow and evolve, while retaining all of the attributes that got us here!
