See you in 2022 at CBP Connects presented by Arryved POS. Join your fellow Craft Beer Professionals in Norfolk, VA (February 7-9, 2022) for 3 days of networking and education. Register: https://cbpconnects-norfolk.eventbrite.com/ David and Tranice will be leading the session "Diversifying Your Workforce Through Training and Development Programs." Workforce/work ready development programs enable people to meet occupational employment trends and real-time labor needs within various industries. Additionally, these programs also level the playing field among underrepresented groups such as: people of color, new immigrants, individuals with disabilities, those living in rural and socio-economically segregated communities, and those involved with the criminal justice system. This workshop will discuss the importance of the beer industry supporting workforce development through thoughtfully planned vocational programs, paid apprenticeships, and other avenues of opportunities which encourages an increase in diverse applicants and talent; decreases occupational turnover rates; and fosters socio-economic equity and inclusion. We are extremely excited to have David and Tranice share their knowledge as part of CBP Connects.

At Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing Company, they believe that a beer is greater than the sum of its ingredients. It’s the place where you experience it, the memories you create with it, and most importantly the people you enjoy it with. It’s about a commitment to using local ingredients, providing a space where everyone feels welcome, and supporting their local community. That’s why each beer is an exhibit of their passion and commitment to where they come from.   In this session, we hear from Kelsey Roth (General Manager) and Matthew Steinberg (Co-Founder, Head Brewer) to discuss:   1. How they've successfully grown a direct-to-consumer program  2. Hear about their initiatives around equity and inclusion  3. Learn more about how they actively source local ingredients  4. And take a dive into their unique experiences over the past couple years Join us in-person for CBP Connects presented by Arryved POS February 7-9, 2022 | Norfolk, Virginia Register: https://cbpconnects-norfolk.eventbrite.com/
