Testimonials 2022 Restaurant Reset Conference

“The MAPP 2022 Reset Conference brought together amazing women in the industry from across the country to share their stories. This not only has helped us find a common ground but is perhaps a starting point to take steps to advocate for each other so that more women can take their rightful places in the ranks of all aspects of the industry. I am so glad I took the steps to attend the conference. I consider it an investment in my future. Through educational panels & discussions, cocktail events, meet and greets, to name a few, I have made connections and friendships that will stay with me and help me grow personally and professionally. I look forward to mentoring and advocating for my fellow badass women of the industry.”

- Georgeann Leaming (Chef/Culinary Consultant & MAPP Ambassador)
