LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
FaB’s Leadership Council is focused on elevating Wisconsin’s food and beverage industry and national and international leadership. They inform and seize opportunities for us to firmly and refreshingly establish Wisconsin’s leadership role in creating a resilient food and beverage scene that is the talk of the world, the pride of Wisconsin, and good for business.
They’re among the first to offer insights and to take actions to maximize our goals while achieving theirs.
How does a company receive a seat on the FaB Council?
The Council is comprised of FaB’s Executive Board and confirmed food and beverage industry chief officers, presidents, or owners – one each from our Choice, Select, and Premium level member companies – along with an identified industry professional from each of our Premium level service member companies.
