Mission
To support the skilled agricultural workforce and provide leadership on behalf of the agricultural community in the areas of resiliency, workforce development, leadership, empowerment, and recognition.
Program accomplishments
- Launched in 2018, the Employee Recognition Program honors vineyard employees who excel in Sonoma County's sustainable winegrape industry. All employees working for vineyard owners, vineyard management companies, or wineries are eligible. Each month, employers nominate individuals to recognize achievements across a range of areas including leadership, innovation, safety, frost protection, conservation, pruning, canopy management, and harvest.Monthly winners receive gift cards and community recognition through advertisements, social media, and local news coverage. The program culminates in an annual celebration, where employees, their families, and nominating managers gather for a catered lunch and live Mariachi music. At this event, the Employee of the Year is announced.Impact highlights: 314 vineyard employees recognized as Employee of the Month since 2018 7 Employees of the Year named, including the most recent celebrated in February 2025Expenses $56,822 · grants $26,750
- Established in February 2022, the Leadership Academy focuses on helping vineyard employees develop the skills needed to assume leadership roles. The program emphasizes professional development rather than agricultural techniques, covering areas such as leadership, human resources, compliance, safety, communications, financial literacy, disaster preparedness, conflict resolution, and community resources.In 2023 and 2024, Leadership Academy participants were invited by Congressman Mike Thompson to host the Congressional Wine Caucus in Washington, D.C., touring the Capitol and sharing their experiences with Emeritus Speaker Nancy Pelosi. This opportunity highlighted the essential contributions of Sonoma County vineyard employees to the wine industry. The tradition is planned to continue in 2026, providing future classes similar opportunities to engage with policymakers.Expenses $122,849 · grants $40,000
