CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS

In 2019 the WVWA formed a Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Inclusion (DEBI) task force with the stated goal to advocate for belonging through the creation of diverse, inclusive, and equitable opportunities for our members, trade, and consumer audiences. As this is ongoing work, the DEBI task force is now the DEBI Council and a permanent part of the WVWA committee structure.
