WBI Executive Survey #2

This week we share the second of seven pictures over seven years from the annual Executive Survey and Panel Discussion at the Wine Industry Financial Symposium.  The year is 2018 and Emeritus Faculty Member Liz Thach joined me along with another great panel of industry leaders.  

Alex Ryan joined our Board of Directors in 2013; Cindy DeVries was COO at Fetzer when they supported our capital campaign and named the Global Classroom; Violet Grgich participated in our film series titled The Business of Wine when we interviewed her father back in 2017; finally we met Tim Persson at Hess, through an introduction made by our friend Jim Caudill, who has since left us.

Scholarships for first generation students are abundant at Sonoma State.  Check out our Wine Industry Scholars Program and prepare to submit an application during the next opportunity in the fall:  Undergraduate Scholarships.
