The Idaho Business Review (IBR) has unveiled the 50 Women of the Year Honorees for 2023. Among the honorees of these highly dedicated and talented leaders in all industries and professions in Idaho is Thomas Cuisine’s President and CEO, Alison Patt.
The IBR explains, “The winners were chosen from 150 nominations submitted this year. IBR’s judges poured over the hundreds of letters of recommendation for the nominees. The judges reviewed the applicants themselves before selecting the 50 honorees based on four categories: professional achievement, leadership, mentorship and community service.”
Chad Cantwell, Senior VP of Growth for Thomas Cuisine, shares, “When you look at the criteria, it’s easy to understand why Alison Patt was selected as soon as you have a conversation with her. Outside Thomas Cuisine, Alison makes her mark in any community she’s involved with by motivating, educating, and inspiring forward movement in service. And within Thomas Cuisine, Alison’s vision around the true depth of real food for individuals, business partnerships, and the greater communities in which we serve is an undeniable fire burning bright for all to see.”
Each year, the IBR announces an overall top winner as the Woman of the Year who is unveiled at the awards gala and introduced by the former year’s winner. Scheduled for Thursday, September 14th, at the Boise Centre, the 2023 awards gala promises to be a night of recognition and celebration, bringing together women leaders from across the state.
Reflecting on her achievement, Alison shares, “It’s a privilege to stand among such remarkable female leaders in Idaho and to play a role in moving our community forward. I am excited to attend the awards gala and connect with other inspiring leaders. Serving others is my passion, both for Thomas Cuisine and my community, so I look forward to finding more opportunities to better myself and those around me.”
