Celebrating our Next Generation of Leaders

Five years ago, our Board of Directors launched the Wine Industry Scholars Program and it is making a big impact. The contributions are paired with dedicated staff support from our colleagues in the Educational Opportunity Program.  Khou Yang-Vigil spoke at our scholarship luncheon on Monday May 2 with two of our students.  She and her team are the driving force behind the success of this program.

Later that week we attended a special graduation ceremony for all of the EOP students, majoring in a variety of fields including business.  The student stories of perseverance were inspiring.  The gifts in support of this program are making a lasting difference.

Today we feature a photo taken at the EOP Celebration mentioned above.  Our programs are truly providing opportunities for the next generation of leadership, in the wine industry and the broader community.
