Events & Education

In addition to professional continuing education presentations, AFWA offers wine tastings, golf lessons, and painting sessions. Because we believe networking should be fun! And when you unwind in a casual non-intimidating setting, you can connect beyond “who do you work for?” and “what do you do?"
