This is a tradition carried on by the Strassburger family to this day.” Suzanne is also the president of Suzy Sirloin, which offers all-natural American raised beef, pork, lamb and veal used to create delectable delicacies, some of the finest in the world. Suzanne has a Masters of Beef Advocacy from the National Cattleman’s Beef Association that she received in 2010.
“We are thrilled to welcome Suzanne as the keynote presenter at our breakfast during PROCESS EXPO. This event gives female executives a wonderful opportunity to hear from a leader in the industry who is passionate about promoting American beef products,” said Kate Rome, President of Rome Grinding Solutions and Co-Chair of the Women’s Alliance Network. “The Alliance has been around for several years now, but really catapulted to center stage at PROCESS EXPO 2017. Since then, we have grown and become a vibrant organization, hosting webinars and town halls, volunteering at local food banks and creating new avenues of engagement for our members to grow and continue to build their careers. We look forward to bringing our members, expanding the Alliance and coming together in October at PROCESS EXPO.”
“The Women’s Network Alliance is a shining example of collaboration among FPSA members. It’s the most robust and engaged network, with a proven track record of bringing together like-minded processing and packaging professions, said David Seckman, President and CEO of FPSA. “Along with the other FPSA Networks (Packaging, Food Safety, Technology and Young Professionals), the Women’s Network Alliance will be organizing meet-ups and contributing to the PROCESS EXPO educational program to truly put their stamp on what is the food industry’s top event this fall. As a member-driven organization, this input is priceless to effectively serving the industry. We look forward to what they achieve at the breakfast and beyond.”
