The Colorado Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier
The Colorado chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier is a collective of forward-thinking and successful female leaders in the food, beverage, hospitality, nutrition and agricultural fields whose mission is to support education and philanthropy in those fields.
We grant scholarships to aspiring professional women in food, beverage, and hospitality, as well as celebrate and support Colorado women-led businesses. Our vision is guided by three objectives: Education, Diversity, and Philanthropy. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization.
As a vibrant and growing chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier International, our Colorado Chapter’s diverse membership represents influential female leaders in the food, beverage, hospitality, nutrition and agricultural fields. We strive to be a positive influence in our community and to provide opportunities for others to be equally influential and respected in their personal and professional communities.

Thank you for your generous support of Colorado’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Les Dames d’Escoffier Colorado, and of the next generation of women entering the food, beverage, agriculture, and hospitality industries. It is because of your sponsorship that our annual scholarships are possible, and more women are able to enter this field for which we all share tremendous passion.
As you know, due to circumstances beyond our control on the Auraria Campus at the time, the 2024 Big Stir Festival could not proceed as planned on April 27th. We’ve tirelessly explored multiple avenues, and despite our best efforts – and numerous non-recoupable expenses – holding the Festival in the same capacity in 2024 was not possible. In its place, an elevated, invitation-only Reception and Awards Presentation took place at St. Cajetan’s Chapel on the Auraria Campus on Monday, July 8th.
