This third class of honorees, selected from more than 100 nominations, range from entrepreneurs to those who have built careers with purveyors, corporate hospitality groups and commodities groups. The honorees lead by example and exemplify their passion for their teams and customers daily.

Each honoree will be featured in Food and Beverage Iowa Business Quarterly. In addition, the Iowa Restaurant Association website will feature their stories. The honorees also will be recognized Nov. 14 during the association’s Celebrating Excellence Awards ceremony.
“This year’s honorees exemplify the multitude of opportunities the hospitality industry holds for women,” said Jessica Dunker, president and CEO of the Iowa Restaurant Association. “From entrepreneurs to restaurant owners, hoteliers to tourism professionals, and brewers to marketing specialists, these honorees are innovators, leaders, mentors and trend setters in our industry.”
