WFF Executive Programming
Expanded Leadership Track Programming
To focus on the unique needs of senior-level (VP level+) members, Executive Track programming and content is now available during our Annual Leadership Development Conference. Executive Track sessions focus on both personal skill development and organizational challenges and include seminars on negotiation and financial acumen. Additionally, an enhanced track of executive programming is based on further stratification and is targeted toward those reporting into the C-Suite, in the C-Suite and on the board of directors, and to those who have aspirations to get there.
Women in Top Jobs
A key measurement of our success is increasing the number of women who secure and remain in the
top jobs of foodservice organizations. Initiatives to achieve this goal are far-reaching.

Board Readiness Training and Resources
As WFF executive members grow in their leadership positions, corporate board service provides an enriched opportunity to expand their experiences. WFF Board Readiness is a major initiative launched to help respond to the needs of WFF executive members interested in board service as well as companies that are interested in improving gender diversity on their boards. Through new comprehensive resources and alliances, WFF executive members can access preeminent goverance training and education organizations to prepare for corporate or advisory board service.
Executive Leadership Competency Model
To provide the basis for ongoing, relevant programming development for executives, WFF (in partnership with Batrus Hollweg International) embarked on determining the core competencies necessary to successfully contribute to executive level positions. The model will be formatted into an online assessment tool to enable members to determine their personal competency gaps.
