Crafted Fellows is an annual program that supports and empowers BIPOC owned beverage industry businesses by offering strategic support during the Crafted for Action Craft Beer Conference and beyond. This one-of-a-kind program creates space for a small group of entrepreneurs to connect with and learn from one another while offering opportunities for professional development, network building, and mentoring.
Fellows will attend the annual conference to participate in a tailored track of panels and to compete for a grant and awards package. This cohort of Fellows will reconvene virtually for eight sessions of mentoring and peer-centric support in the following fall.
