Allyson Felix to Headline The Global Produce & Floral Show Women's Breakfast; Megan Nash Shares
NEWARK, DE & WASHINGTON, DC - If there’s anyone with expertise in strength and determination, it’s an Olympic medal winner. Allyson Felix, distinguished track and field Olympian, entrepreneur, and Founder of Saysh will be bringing this insight to The Global Produce & Floral Show as a keynote speaker at the Women’s Fresh Perspectives Breakfast.
“She is a force for inspiration. Accolades praise her as influential, unrelenting, and a definer of global business,” said Megan Nash, IFPA Director of Education and Talent. “Allyson has exemplified that she is about more than just medals—she runs for change, equity, and acceptance for women and girls everywhere. You won’t want to miss her presentation.”
On Saturday, October 21, Felix will speak about her career, life experience, and advocacy for gender equity. Felix’s advocacy covers women in business, mothers in athletics, maternity rights, and other issues supporting women and girls.
“Not only do we provide resources for women as well as opportunities to connect and learn, we also recognize those in our industry who are equally committed to women’s success,” Nash said.
During the highly attended event, IFPA will present the Frieda Rapoport Caplan Women’s Catalyst Award at the breakfast. As a press release outlined, this award honors a leader in the produce or floral industry who cultivates women’s potential by mentoring and providing a path for the leadership, development, and participation of women in the industry; it is a key component of IFPA’s Awards of Excellence and DEI efforts.
“Past winners of this award are icons in our industry and the face of DEI commitment. I encourage everyone coming to the global show to consider this breakfast in your schedule. It is always a highlight of the event,” said Nash. “Coming off the sold-out women’s reception at The Foodservice Conference, we’re advising attendees to get their tickets soon as this high-demand breakfast at the global show traditionally sells out quickly.”
