Conversation with HER

Chick-fil-A’s AAON Women's Forum has partnered with PRIME Strategy to present ‘A Conversation with HER’. Beginning March 1 and continuing all month, the series will include a dynamic combination of diverse industries leaders and Owner-Operators speaking at virtual "Fireside Chats" and “HER Panel Discussions”. The inaugural celebration is designed to Celebrate, Inspire, and Empower women to new heights across the restaurant industry.  

The event series will take place every Monday in the month of March at 2:00 p.m. EST, beginning March 1. Sessions will address a wide range of topics impacting women, covering everything from resources to the leadership pipeline. Participation is free to registered guests.

“Women Operators of all backgrounds stand to benefit from the industry fireside chats and panels as they gather to exchange ideas, discover solutions to common challenges, and champion much-need diversity and inclusion at the Owner-Operator level,” said Stephanie Davenport, president and chief executive officer of PRIME Strategy, Inc. “We believe that together women owners, operators, chains and industry stakeholders can accelerate the pace of progress and help one another achieve entrepreneurial excellence.”

Women across all cultures in the restaurant industry continue to face challenges as they rise to the ranks of Top Chef or Restaurant Owner-Operator. Pandemic-related challenges and opportunities are top of mind as many of these entrepreneurs work to sustain, reinvent and grow their businesses.

The event audience will include women owner-operators across all restaurant concepts and brands, as well as aspiring women Owner-Operators (restaurant leaders, students, other seasoned professionals), industry partners, stakeholders and allies. Series content and speakers span all industry segments including quick service, fast casual, casual dining and fine dining.

The collaboration and support of all brands and industry partners is welcomed to further the impact of the celebration for the industry and individual organizations. Brands are invited to contact ACWHSupport@primestrategyinc.com  to ensure they are represented with a celebratory Women’s History Message.  Messages will be posted online throughout the month of March.
