Pat brought a creative, entrepreneurial spirit to WFF.  She never hesitated to set bold goals and used her expertise in operations to successfully take the organization to the next level.  During her tenure as Chair, conference attendance exceeded 1,000 and, for the first time, over $1 million was raised in new sponsorship dollars.   

Pat brought financial stability and new products to the organization, including establishing the WFF Annual Leadership Luncheon during NRA and instituting the Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

A true entrepreneur herself, Pat and her husband Bill co-founded Anton Airfood Inc., in 1989, a company known for upgrading the dining options at airports by operating highly successful national and local restaurant brands.  Pat served most recently as President and CEO of the firm.  

Always passionate about our industry and our mission, Pat remains a familiar face at WFF events.
