Wine, Women and…Entrepreneurs

Busi­ness Group Helps Marin Women Entre­pre­neurs Suc­ceed – from the Marin Inde­pen­dent Journal

Now this looks like a fan­tas­tic way to spend a few hours with some smart women: The Nation­al Asso­ci­a­tion of Women Busi­ness Own­ers, SF Bay Area has reg­u­lar month­ly events.

From the arti­cle — The Bay Area chap­ter of the asso­ci­a­tion has been around for 21 years and holds a num­ber of month­ly events in the area, includ­ing a Marin net­work­ing break­fast forum that meets reg­u­lar­ly on the fourth Tues­day of every month at Il For­naio in Corte Madera.

The next one, called ”Women Trail­blaz­ers in the Wine Indus­try,” is set for Sept. 13 at the Sir Fran­cis Drake Hotel in San Francisco.

“We’re using women in the wine indus­try as exam­ples of how women have been break­ing the bar­ri­ers and set­ting a rapid pace toward suc­cess in a male-dom­i­nat­ed industry,”said Nor­ma LaRosa, the group’s EVP and mar­ket­ing chairwoman.
