Meet Our Keynote Speaker
Unlike some other food celebrities,
Little Debbie is a real person.
Friday Morning Keynote Speaker: Debbie McKee-Fowler, Chairman of the Board, McKee Foods Corp.
Debbie McKee-Fowler is the original inspiration for the Little Debbie logo and still very much a part of the family business which was created by her grandfather in 1934. She currently serves as the Chairman of the Board for McKee Foods. Join Little Debbie herself to hear about how her name became an icon in the snack world, what it takes to manage a brand that is so recognizable, the challenges of running a family business and why we just can’t get enough of our favorite comfort food.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, please contact Kimberly Noonan at knoonan@vamanufacturers.com.
