Women of Achievement
“Les Dames d’Escoffier is a leadership culinary organization composed of women who have not only achieved success in their profession, but who contribute significantly to their communities. Since its incorporation over 30 years ago, Les Dames d’Escoffier has followed its mission to elevate the profession through mentoring members and helping worthy students succeed in their culinary careers. I am very proud to be a member.”- Julia Child (1912-2004) |

Dear Friends,
The Universities of Shady Grove, the location of this year's Women in Gastronomy: "Celebrating Food!", has cancelled all events after receiving guidance from state health officials and the University of Maryland. They, and Les Dames d’Escoffier, feel that we must exercise an abundance of caution as the health and safety of our members and attendees is of utmost priority.
Therefore, it is with deep regret that we announce the Women in Gastronomy: "Celebrating Food!" symposium
set for Saturday, March 28, has been cancelled for 2020.
We will reschedule Women in Gastronomy: Celebrating Food! for Spring 2021 and will keep you informed when the new date is confirmed.
If you have registered for this event, we will be offering you a full refund of your registration fee. You also have the option to donate your registration fee (or any portion of it), which is tax deductible, to Les Dames d'Escoffier to enable us to continue to provide scholarships to women in food, beverage and hospitality industries.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and be well. 2020 Symposium Committee
