MISSION STATEMENT: Empowering women, female-identifying, non-binary, LGBTQ+, BIPOC and otherwise marginalized humans working in the industry to create, preserve and improve the art of music on vinyl. VISION Women in Vinyl works to: Inspire, and create role models to support minorities of all kinds within the community in finding their way to the vinyl industry with purpose and not by chance. Support and empower women, female-identifying, non-binary, LGBTQ+, BIPOC and otherwise marginalized people working in the vinyl industry from cutting engineers, and record labels, to pressing plants, and those running or working in record stores; by showcasing their successes and providing a place for them to connect, network, and share their experiences and advice. Support career development, and provide tools to help those working in the field advance in their career; to expand opportunities in these fields and to share resources and knowledge through demystification, education, collaboration, and diversity. Feel free to reach out with ideas for collaboration, or if you have someone you think we should highlight!
