WCR Connects Women In Food
WCR supports women in Food & Beverage by creating experiences
that bring women together to propel careers forward.
WCR has made an impact on my life because female support is especially important in a male dominated business such as the restaurant industry. Through WCR women have the chance both to serve as mentors and to seek out mentors who can provide support for the unique issues we face including the physical pace required of chefs, the compromises to family life that are required, and the mental fortitude for typically being one of only a few women on staff.
