LDEI-SF Third Annual DEI in the Food & Wine Industry Celebration and Education Luncheon

LDEI-SF is excited to throw our third annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion event. This year the focus will be on Allyship, the active support of a minority or marginalized group without being a member of the group. Please join us to learn about the importance and the how-to’s of Allyship for your personal and professional life and brands. After the moderated panels, we’ll all enjoy an outdoor boxed lunch at Dame Sue Conely’s beautiful Silver Penny Farm in Petaluma and some fun fellowship.
