A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO In 2025, when the CEOs of major companies are as likely to be women as men, and women are promoted at the same rates as men, we will overhear industry leaders say, “Things really started to change back in 2017.” That is the vision and opportunity that drives everything we do at Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF) and propels the tireless commitment of our Board and dedicated staff. It was the driving force throughout a very busy and productive year as the WFF Board laid the groundwork to enhance our ability to drive change across the industry by first refining and reinvigorating our own mission. With a clear strategy and shared mission, we reached out to the world’s most influential food companies to engage them in unprecedented collaboration on accelerating women’s advancement. Our industry’s first participation in the 2017 Women in the Workplace Study conducted by McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org provided benchmark data on the state of women in the industry and marked a critical turning point in our history. We are deeply grateful to the 32 Convening Companies that were the first to commit to gaining the insights needed for the Food Industry to pave new paths of opportunity for women. For everything we tackled and accomplished in 2017, increasing opportunity for women at work and equipping the Food Industry with a valuable new source of talent was at the heart of it. We are indebted to the visionary leaders helping us drive that agenda at the helm of WFF: Board Chair Marie Perry EVP & Chief Financial Officer for Jamba Juice Chair-Elect Susan Adzick VP Sales & Marketing McLane Foodservice, Inc. Treasurer Denny Marie Post CEO of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Brews The deep commitment the Food Industry has made to advancing women is about to unfold in ways many of us had only dreamed of even just a few years ago.
