About Women in Petfood Leadership events
Women in Petfood Leadership brings together like-minded professional women in pet food to build a community and interact by offering opportunities for networking, career planning, leadership development and professional support. This program is open to all women, and men, who support the principles of cooperation, education, mentoring, and encouragement for women to grow professionally throughout the pet food industry.
This initiative is made possible by several leading women in the pet food manufacturing industry. Thank you to committee members Jennifer Igou with Camlin, Gail Kuhlman with GXK Consulting, Leah Lambrakis with Simmons Pet Food, Betty McPhee with Heartland Supply, Leigh Ann Sayen with The Peterson Co., and Laura Moran with LPM Innovate, for your support!
