Here we are, rolling merrily toward the holidays as we wrap up another innovative year of monthly meetings for BATW. Lest we forget all that’s been done – despite the pandemic – here is a list of professional development events we’ve had, just on Zoom. This doesn’t include in-person events at Jack London State Historic Park, Hanson of Sonoma Distillery, Straus Home Ranch, Moxy Hotel and our upcoming holiday party in Oakland. Thank you to every board member and general member who had a part in planning or covering these stellar programs. For recordings of many of the Zoom events, check out our new BATW Youtube channel.
