    OIB Chapter - Member Survey Sept 2020
    Your name is NOT required in this survey

    As you may be aware from recent chapter tastings, AWS National newsletter, or even the recent AWS National email, there will be an AWS NATIONAL Virtual Conference Nov 4-7. A free event to members except wine cost. This will involve the local Chapters coordination of wine cost & utilizing National’s “Small Bottle Program” for doing actual tastings during the virtual conference. The OIB Chapter has obtained the necessary quantities of 2oz empty glass bottles from National, for shipping cost only. Our OIB Chapter plan is to secure the wines involved in the planned conference and send out Chapter Evites & payment info like we currently do. The Board of Directors (BOD) has already identified some member volunteer’s to prepare the 2oz bottles just before the conference to preserve wine characteristics. There has also been BOD discussion (even a National video) on safely preparing & distributing bottles for enabling our OIB members to participate remotely. AWS National is making this a high priority & commitment for member benefit & participation. The BOD does understand the actual agenda/wineries are in process and being further defined this month. At this time, do you think you will participate in any portion of the virtual conference during Nov 4-7?
    The OIB Chapter continues to schedule physical tasting events at Silver Coast Winery. The Chapter (and SCW) has been quite successful to date on attendance, protocols for distancing & being in the building, cleaning, etc. How many of these 4 events have you participated in (WS Top 100, Reustle, Wine Barrel Polka and National Tasting Program)? If you haven’t physically participated over the last 4 events is there something else the Chapter can do for you to feel comfortable in participating?
    3) Since the OIB Chapter already has the small 2oz bottles, would you participate in any of the following Chapter driven approaches for ANY upcoming event, before Nov conference or even continuing after that? If remote, this involves distributing multiple bottles to you based on number of different wines during the OIB tasting (i.e. 6 wines, 6 small bottles). There are protocols & logistics to safely reuse the glass bottles to address that concern.
