An Alliance for Women in the Culinary and Hospitality Industry throughout the Southeast USA.
Led by Leigh Cort, the networking group helps promote and invigorate the Northeast Florida and Coastal Georgia hospitality industry.
11 years strong, Womens Food Alliance is Leigh Cort’s legacy to ‘hard working, creative, dynamic, caring women. A high energy group of women with a common interest in culinary and hospitality, every member has an entrepreneurial spirit and strong belief in how we can help each other. Our meetings are a gathering place to engage, relax, support and learn.
The food industry in the region is continuing to explode with talent, creativity and passion – in careers that revolve in and around food, beverage and hospitality. The knowledge, hard work, respect and fellowship that we share leads us to believe that more women in the industry could benefit from and contribute to the Womens Food Alliance.
Our Story
Join us for delicious hospitality-related culinary dinners and luncheons. We pledge to create exclusive educational programs that benefit our membership and the community.
Our members love the enlightening and fun monthly gatherings in countless venues throughout the northeast Florida/Coastal Georgia region. We thrive on varying each theme, location and highlighted members!
Why have we grown each year with members who are chefs, restaurateurs, event planners, hoteliers, hospitality leaders, farmers, confectioners, spirit and wine makers, creative entrepreneurs, specialty food makers and more?
The Womens Food Alliance knows how to connect the dots with our diverse sorority of great women on the move!
