Through its mission to unite the hospitality community and advance professional bartending, the USBG believes in empowering bartenders to take charge of their careers through providing a solid platform of membership.
What is the Member Referral Program?
Membership is built upon a strong foundation of community, camaraderie, and leadership - and the Guild believes in recognizing leaders that go the extra mile to build and strengthen that mission and purpose. Click here to learn more.
How does the Member Referral Program work?
When you refer someone for membership, be sure they mention you on their application - it's that simple!
Each quarter, the member with the most referrals will be gifted an exclusive USBG swag item. And each year an annual recipient is recognized, too!
It's a Tie!
Congrats to our six 2023-first quarter member referral recipients:
