Causing A Stir

CAS is a 501(c)(3) org supporting individuals with educational tools that create a pathway for excellence. Causing A Stir developed from a luncheon of ten female bartenders of color November 2016 in Chicago, IL. Gathered together in fellowship with a goal to discuss views & perspectives on the hospitality industry. Our group came to find that there was a need for radical inclusion, equal representation, and accessibility to educational opportunities within our bar community. We initiated a Facebook group in hopes of cultivating a social space to inform, guide, and empower individuals from all backgrounds to succeed despite the lack of readily made resources. Causing A Stir’s goal, quite simply, is to #getinvolved by listening and understanding the needs of our bar community as a whole. Our vision is to nurture better working environments and the people that encompass them. We are motivated by a duty to support the success of bartenders and their fellow hospitality professionals industry wide.
