07/11 ELAINE HONIG, SHAWN KERWIN

ELAINE HONIG – FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, “WINE, WOMEN & SHOES”

Now in its eighth year, Wine, Women & Shoes (WW&S®) has produced over 120 events, which has helped net an astounding $13 million for our charity partners around the country. Inspired by the classic country ballad “Wine, Women and Song,” our event offers our charity partners the opportunity to create a fabulous women’s fundraiser. Prior to the launch of my company, I ran the marketing, branding, and communication for Honig Vineyard and Winery in Napa Valley. Today I not only “Feast it Forward” through our national Wine, Women & Shoes events, but locally, I have served on the board of Trustees of the Napa County Land Trust, most recently served as Chairman of the Board. I have also dedicated my time having served on the Planned Parenthood – Shasta Diablo’s Napa Valley Board of Advocates, the Board of Directors of the Napa County Farm Bureau, and the Napa Sierra Club. I am honored to contribute to our community not only on a professional level, but a as a personal commitment to paying it forward.
