1982 to present
Do you know the WFFC? Founded in 1982 as
an informal meeting of 22 professional women and
incorporated in 1983 by this same forward-think-
ing and passionate group, the Women in Flavor
and Fragrance Commerce, Inc. (WFFC) was
established to provide women employed in the
flavor and fragrance industry with a forum for
networking, education, career advancement, and
camaraderie.
With more than 500 members and three
chapters in Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio;
and New Jersey, the WFFC is a passionate group
committed to the professional development of indi-
viduals in the flavor and fragrance industry. As a
leading flavor and fragrance industry organization,
WFFC brings its members and the industry togeth-
er for unparalleled educational seminars, volunteer
opportunities, and networking events.
The WFFC is an organization that exists and is
thriving because of its members. Each network-
ing event, educational seminar, and membership
initiative is created by dedicated committees com-
prised of volunteers. The WFFC prides itself on
recognizing the accomplishments of its members
through our Annual Recognition Awards Dinner
and our Annual Gala.
Today, the WFFC’s scope of membership
includes members at every stage of their career
within every facet of the industry—newly minted
perfumers and flavorists, to marketing and sales
professionals with decades of experience, to small
business owners, to employees of multinational
corporations, to purchasing professionals versed in
the crop cycles of essential oils and market dynam-
ics of aroma chemicals, to PhDs at the forefront
of technological advancement in our evolving
industry, and many more.
