Inclusion and Opportunity with Melvin Keebler

The popular saying “a rising tide lifts all boats” is perfectly
suited for the distilled spirits industry — when one of us does
well, either as an individual or as a company, we do what we can
to help others. On this episode of Around the Barrel, we talk
with Melvin Keebler, Vice President and Assistant General Manager
at the Jack Daniel Distillery, about the Nearest & Jack
Advancement Initiative, the latest way Jack Daniel’s is helping
those with less opportunity. Through collaboration with Uncle
Nearest Inc., the initiative offers education, training and
support for minorities looking to succeed in the distilled
spirits industry. Melvin takes us behind-the-scenes of this
impactful program and discusses Jack Daniel’s diversity and
inclusion efforts while shining a light on the path of progress
ahead.
