35th Anniversary
Celebrating 35 Years of Advancing Women's Leadership and Championing Equality
Keynote Speaker
We are honored to welcome Merrilee Kick as our featured speaker, a true trailblazer in the beverage industry. As the CEO and Founder of BuzzBallz/Southern Champion, Merrilee led the only woman-owned distillery, winery, and brewery combination in the U.S. before its successful sale to Sazerac in 2024. With a remarkable track record that includes building a globally recognized brand, leading a team of over 1,000 employees, and earning numerous prestigious awards, Merrilee's accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary. Her recent $30 million donation to establish the Merrilee Alexander Kick College of Business & Entrepreneurship at Texas Woman's University is a testament to her commitment to empowering future generations.
We look forward to hearing from Merrilee at our 35th Anniversary Celebration. Stay turned for more details!
