AFWA – Tulsa Chapter Newsletter – January 2025 Edition 
We heard you in the surveys this year! Below is a preview of what you can expect from AFWA in 2024. We will update the website as details finalize.
As requested, we also increased networking opportunities and added some structure.
- We will have two structured networking events this year (Jan & Oct.)
- We will have “Networking-lite” events. Networking-lite will not be structured and each person will need to pick up their own tab, but it will be a great way to get together and support local breweries/pubs.
Calendar of Events
Now thru Feb 19
- Tulsa Chapter – Members only presale!
- Discount for 8 CPE sessions paid in advance (one expense report for the year)
- Offer ends just before the 02/19/25 lunch CPE event.
