Our Mission

Les Dames D'Escoffier Cleveland is the Cleveland chapter of Les Dames D'Escoffier International. Our members are professional women in the food, beverage, and related industries. All are women of achievement, leaders in their fields as well as communities, each with a minimum of five years experience. The goal of our chapter is to carry out the mission of our parent organization: to educate, advocate and donate; to assist and promote women in the professions of food, wine and hospitality; and to participate in Green Tables, LDEI’s Civic Agriculture and Garden Initiative, aimed at helping consumers of all ages better understand the link between farming and eating. In addition we provide opportunities for our members and their guests to socialize, network, and learn.

Through our activities, chapter members share their knowledge and expertise with one another, our industry and with the general public, and raise funds to support mission-related philanthropic projects.

Membership in Les Dames d'Escoffier Cleveland is limited to qualified women living and working in Ohio and is by invitation only. For more information, contact our chapter president and Les Dames D'Escoffier International.
