Welcome to Spirits and Connections: IAEE NorCal Fall Social 2025! Join us for an evening of networking, fun, and delicious bites at Honor Kitchen. Connect with industry professionals, share ideas, and enjoy a variety of spirits while building new relationships.
100% of the donation proceeds will go to The Bread Project. The Bread Project was founded as a California nonprofit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation in December 2000. Lucie Buchbinder and Susan Phillips, specialists in subsidized housing, created the organization to help low-income housing tenants obtain job skills training and become self-sufficient. After a successful beginning at the San Francisco Baking Institute in South San Francisco, The Bread Project transferred to the East Bay and partnered with Berkeley Adult School and Oakland Unified School District Adult and Career Education.
With growth came the opportunity for The Bread Project to operate its own training facility and wholesale bakery. In 2010, we moved to Emeryville. In 2015, we moved again to our current facility – zoned for both retail and wholesale operations –in Berkeley, California. Since 2000, we have served more than 2,400 low-income individuals. Today 80-85% of graduates find living-wage jobs within 30-60 days.
This in-person event promises to be a great opportunity to expand your network and unwind after a long day. Don't miss out on this fantastic chance to mingle and make lasting connections. See you there!
