LEE Initiative Inc

The LEE Initiative is an acronym for Let's Empower Employment.

When we see a need for more diversity, equity, sustainability, and compassion in the restaurant industry, we will find innovative and impactful solutions. We will create programs that make a real difference in the lives of the next generation of restaurant industry professionals. We help our community and inspire others to get involved.

Your charitable contribution helps fund a variety of programs focused on promoting women's leadership, connecting independent restaurants and farms with resources, advocating for Black-owned establishments, and facilitating relationships between the upcoming restaurant generation and award-winning industry professionals. On the horizon is the next chapter of The LEE Initiative: a think tank, research and non-profit restaurant concept that will demonstrate what the future of sustainable restaurants can look like.
