Celebrity Chef Anna Francese Gass To Headline Moxxie Mentoring'S Emerald Summit

Anna Francese Gass Takes Center Stage

Connecticut's own culinary star, Anna Francese Gass, is set to dazzle as the keynote speaker at the 14th Annual Emerald Summit. This much-anticipated event, hosted by the Moxxie Mentoring Foundation, will unfold from noon to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30, at the elegant Heritage Club nestled within Bethpage State Park.

Gass, a celebrated chef, cookbook author, and TV personality, has graced the screens of "Rachel Ray," "Today," "Good Morning America," and "Access Hollywood." Attendees will not only get to hear her inspiring keynote speech but will also have the chance to purchase signed copies of her books. It's an exciting opportunity to support a foundation dedicated to empowering women through mentorship and professional growth.

“I have seen very successful women who have had mentors – men and women – and they’ve really excelled in their careers,” says Beth Meixner, executive director at Moxxie Mentoring Foundation.

Honoring a Legacy of Leadership

This year's summit holds special significance as it marks a transition in leadership. Beth Meixner, the current executive director, will be honored for her outstanding service as she prepares to step down at the year's end. Taking the helm will be Jenna Natale, a Moxxie Mentoring alumna and a proactive force within Long Island's business sphere.

Natale, who currently serves as the associate executive director, expresses her enthusiasm for the event: “The Emerald Summit has long been a place for professionals across Long Island to connect with like-minded individuals: people who believe in the power of mentorship and the critical role mentoring plays in the life of a woman embarking on her career journey.”

Empowering Women Through Mentorship

The Emerald Summit is more than just a gathering; it's a cornerstone event for fostering connections and empowering women at every career stage. All proceeds will fuel the growth of Moxxie Mentoring Foundation's core programs, which continue to pave paths for women in the professional world.
