“Yes, Chef!” - Female Leadership in the Restaurant Industry
Bolivia, Morocco, Ireland

I will explore female leadership in the restaurant industry internationally learning from female chefs and culinary organizations that pave the way for women in the restaurant industry through unique approaches to local and global community-building.
