For Individuals - Females In Food

A Membership Community For Women On The Rise

Equipping and connecting women with the tools and network to transform their careers.

FIF is on a mission to bring together women – entrepreneurs, advisors, corporate professionals, executives, builders, founders, and makers of all kinds [across every sector of the food and beverage industry] – so that they can receive the support, connection, resources, and collaboration to accelerate and transform their careers.

Where our members lead

Who is FIF for?

Individuals seeking to advance to higher levels of responsibility within their organization
Business owners seeking to accelerate the growth of their business, network with other founders in the industry, and receive targeted resources
Professionals across every F&B industry function and sector from individual contributors to mid-level managers and senior directors

This is networking on a different level.

Career Growth

On the prowl for the perfect job? Looking to lock down your dream co-founder, consultant, or team member? Our trainings, talent exchange, private forum, coaches, and events are the career assistance you’ve been searching for.

Resources

Getting to the top is rarely by luck, so we crafted a world of opportunity to advance your ambitious goals through our key pillars of content: Leadership, Mindset, Financial Acumen, Strategy, & Communication. It’s all here.

Industry Divisions

We’re redefining what it means to be present together. If courses aren’t your thing, you’ll find value in our curated groups and meet ups. Receive targeted resources and foster meaningful connections within your industry sector divisions to maximize your support-system and societal contributions.

Community, how it was always meant to be

Maybe it’s just us (it’s not), but the word “community” is so overused that it’s starting to lose any real meaning. Everywhere you look, the word “community” is being used to — we’re just going to say it — sell you something. To us, community isn’t something you buy — it’s something you do.

At Females in Food, our members “do” community every day. We show up for each other. We ask for what we need and offer what we can. We help each other; we listen. We don’t treat networking as a series of cold, business transactions between mutually interested parties, but rather as a living habit of building and nurturing conversations, connections, and experiences that actually mean something.

And that’s what makes Females in Food magic. It’s impossible to measure, but it’s undeniable once you’re a part of it. Our members bring their entire selves into this community, and the FIF team spends all day every day building an environment and experiences that facilitate these connections and elevate our members every way we can.

Vice President, Talent Strategy, Curtis Food Recruiters

“I cannot say enough about the quality and caliber of the women in this community. Unlike other similar organizations, Females in Food has built a group dedicated not only to self-improvement, but committed to helping lift up others around them in the process. Every event I attend and discussion I have with members has left me a better and more well-connected business woman. There is a clear desire within this community to give back to each other while continuing to develop and improve one’s self. I couldn’t recommend Females in Food more highly for organizations looking to elevate their talent and for individuals seeking genuine, compassionate connections and learnings.”
