ON THE HEELS OF THE NEXT BIG SIP…Les Dames NY is delighted to offer women in the food, beverage, and hospitality fields - and professional women in general - another educational program, in partnership with Brown-Forman, a spirited family of people and brands.

As thousands of people are voluntarily leaving their jobs, with women leading the way, Follow Your Arrow—a live webinar moderated by Brown-Forman manager, McCauley Adams—will explore the unexpected career journeys of three women leaders in the field of wine and spirits:

• Rachel Barrie. One of only a handful of female Master blenders in the world, creating some of the world’s finest Single Malt Scotch whiskies.
• Cara Morrison. Winemaker immersed in the crafting of Chardonnay in the classic, Burgundian style.
• Lexie Phillips. Assistant distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery and collaborator to Master Distiller Chris Fletcher on whiskey innovation.

Please join us March 28th at 5PM ET, for an informative and insightful conversation that will surely inspire contemplation of career choices you may have never thought of before!
