The National Mango Board is celebrating Women’s History Month by Calling All Women Leaders and Innovators in Foodservice

“What’s your Womango story?”

Mangos have appeared in global foodways dating back as far as 400 A.D., so it’s no wonder that they are a culinary staple, a satisfying comfort food, a symbol of friendship and love, and a fruit that inspires passion among the women who grow them and those who cook with them.

The National Mango Board celebrates the achievements of women in foodservice that push the boundaries of what’s possible, and invites you to share your first Womango encounter, most amazing mango experience, moment of sheer mango happiness, favorite mango recipe, or burning question about mangos.

Now for a dash of creativity: send your entry in the form of an anecdote, a poem, a tale, a limerick, a sketch or a drawing.

Two Womango winners, selected in a random drawing, will each be awarded one registration for the 2021 CAFÉ Annual Leadership Conference. Enter here by 11:59 p.m. on April 16, 2020. Winners will be notified by April 30.
