TiE Women's Forum is a networking group within TiE. It was created to foster a professional community amongst the women of TiE, across all industries and job functions. Its mission is to develop and mentor its members to allow them to succeed as entrepreneurs and leaders. The network is open to all TiE members who are passionate about career growth, developing leadership skills, sharing best practices, and enriching the TiE member base.
The education and tasting will be lead by Alyssa Rapp, Founder and CEO of Bottlenotes. Bottlenotes is the premier online wine community, a place for new to intermediate wine enthusiasts to come "explore, buy, and share" the world of wine – and also a place that connects "good people" with "great wine."
