Sisterhood for Industry Support
SIS is a forum for the empowerment and advancement of drinks-industry womxn in South Africa, and South Africans abroad.
SIS
Purpose & Pillars
Our purpose is to increase gender representation and seniority through sisterly synergy and mutual upliftment.
We have a long view here, where we believe these goals can be achieved by building enduring relationships and cultivating community.
We take daily steps towards nurturing sisterhood by following our #TellYourSis ethos, where our three key pillars are:
- Sharing opportunities
- Offering advice
- Cheering each other on
In other words, development, mentorship and support.

CHEERING EACH OTHER ON

Seminars & Scholarships
To inspire and educate, we offer regular seminars, where leading industry womxn share their wisdom and experience with us. These seminars are open to the public, and we welcome interested individuals, regardless of their gender or industry.
We also offer scholarships to facilitate career advancement. These are for SIS members only.
