“Leigh, My career and my accomplishments are my foundation. You and Womens Food Alliance and its members remind me of how important that is. Your example as a hard-working, accomplished professional woman buoy me tremendously.” Wendy White, Owner of Publishing Partners, Inc./The Restaurant Times

"Women's Food Alliance is a great organization to get together with women who share the entrepreneurial drive, creative spirit and determination to achieve greatness. If you're willing to share ideas, information, have fun, meet new people and see new places ~ this is a great organization" DeeAnn Hobbs - Executive Chef ~ Renaissance World Golf Village Resort

"The Women's Food Alliance is a fantastic, high energy group of women all with a common interest in culinary & hospitality. Every member has a strong belief in the hospitality field and how we can help each other. Our meetings are a gathering place to engage, relax and unwind. I challenge all women in hospitality to join us and you, too, will be encouraged to better yourself and your business. DANA STALLINGS, Owner Kilwins and JaxKitchen

"When I had a dream of starting Amelia Toffee, I was lucky to find a gorgeous commercial kitchen owned by Dana Stallings, a member of Womens Food Alliance, who encouraged me to join this great organization. Leigh Cort suggested that I bring samples of our first batch of toffee to an event while meeting other professional women to partner with. It would have taken me years to develop those kinds of relationships but within two hours I had networked with amazing women who have helped me grow my business in lightning speed. I am an avid fan of WFA and what they are achieving in northeast Florida!" Anita Comisky, Creator of Amelia Toffee

Leigh - "I've been a member of Womens Food Alliance for a little over a year. It has been such an amazing experience having the opportunity to represent the St. Francis Inn Bed and Breakfast. I am able to spend time enjoying the company of such talented and successful women, sharing ideas and thoughts over great food, drink, and atmosphere at our monthly events. I look forward to having my "WFA night out!" Always a pleasure! And always exciting to receive that email invitation to the next event. It is a privilege to be surrounded by women who love what they do in this industry. I am also thrilled to see how our membership continues to grow thanks to Leigh!" Nancy Guarnieri - Asst. Culinary Mgr., St. Francis Inn

"How refreshing to join a group of such diverse women who all love food, beverages and our amazing hospitality industry. The best part about WFA that I have found is the diverse professional backgrounds of the women with a common interest. The events are so unique and down right fun! Thanks Leigh for pulling it all together! You ROCK!"
Anne Urban, President - Destination Planning

"I want to take a minute to thank you for the opportunity to host the Womens Food Alliance 1st Anniversary Dinner. I was taken aback by the spirit of your organization. It seems every member truly embraces hospitality and you've done an amazing job in such a short time this year. Thank you again for allowing us to participate; I hope everything was up to par and everyone enjoyed themselves"
