Our mission is to provide grants and mentorship to support emerging female leaders in agriculture, food, beverage, hospitality, and related fields across the communities represented by our membership. We believe it is especially critical to support women and gender equity here in Sacramento, America's farm-to-fork capital. LDEI Sacramento is part of Les Dames d'Escoffier International, the preeminent global professional association for women leaders in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries. Through our grant program, we support nonprofit, community-based organizations that empower and educate women in culinary arts, agriculture, nutrition, food science, hospitality, and beverage professions.
We give our time, money, professional expertise, and other resources to inspire, support, and advance our members as well as women in our communities working in agriculture, food, beverage, hospitality, and related fields.
We seek to raise money to support emerging women leaders in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries through our grant, scholarship, and mentoring programs.
At Les Dames d’Escoffier International (LDEI), one of our guiding principles is valuing the differences among people and cultures in our chapters, communities, and in the world at large. We believe that LDEI’s openness and diversity is a fundamental strength of our organization and that our mission is best fulfilled when we embrace diversity as a key value and practice.
It’s important to note that we were founded on the very principles of gender equity. LDEI founder Carol Brock saw the inequities that women faced in the food and hospitality industries and made it her goal to make a difference by forming an organization of women leaders in food, beverage, and hospitality. By forming a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, we are honoring Carol’s legacy and moving forward with her vision. And by opening up our membership to all qualified women, we are leading by example, building a professional organization in which women of all races, languages, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, physical disabilities, sexual orientations, and religions are welcome.
Les Dames d’Escoffier International believes that there is a place for everyone at our table. Through our programs, awards, initiatives, and Partnerships, we strive to recognize, listen to, and learn from women across all cultures and communities because we know that we are better together.
