The world is fascinated with secret ingredients – whether it be the unknown contents of a recipe passed down for generations, or the principals behind a successful franchise.

Please join BW in welcoming:

Jodi Berg, president & CEO, Vitamix. With a commercial customer list that reads like a “Who’s Who” of major restaurant chains and a passionate following of home chefs, celebrities and fitness enthusiasts, learn from this EY Entrepreneur of the Year National Award Winner whose NE Ohio family business sells product in more than 140 countries.

Opening remarks by Susan Bixler '72, widely recognized author, speaker, executive coach, and a frequently quoted expert in the area of leadership development.
