NBWA launches BREW initiative at annual convention
Initiative seeks to unify and advance women who work in the beer industry
The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) officially launched the Building Relationships and Empowering Women (BREW) initiative at its 84th Annual Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas. Through the BREW initiative, NBWA is committed to offering a robust forum for women leaders to grow professionally within the beer industry. This initiative has been long in the works, with the official launch put on hold by the COVID pandemic.
“Points of entry into the beer distribution industry have eluded women in the past, but thankfully, that dynamic is changing. NBWA and our members value gender diversity and are committed to lifting up and empowering women across the country. The BREW initiative will support this important goal,” said Kim McKinnish, NBWA senior vice president and chief financial officer, in a statement.
