Who we are: women leaders in food, beverage & hospitality
What we do: support women through scholarships & mentorship
Who we serve: anyone in need in Dallas-Fort Worth
Since 1985, we've donated more than $1.5 million to fund endowments, scholarships, grants, and local non-profits.
Our first endowment of $5,000.00 was to the culinary program at El Centro, one of the Dallas County Community Colleges. With money raised from fundraising events, the Dallas Chapter of LDEI now has $415,000.00 in permanent endowments, supports a fine beverage library at El Centro, and annually awards money to diverse projects that support the goals of our organization.
