MAFSI Elects New Officers; Stephanie Perry Announced as President

ATLANTA, GA – (March 17, 2025) The Manufacturers’ Agents Association for the Foodservice Industry (MAFSI), announces new officers, who are to begin their two-year terms immediately:

Stephanie Perry, Permul Ltd., Mississauga, Ont. was announced as the sixty-fourth President of MAFSI, the Manufacturers' Agents Association for the Foodservice Industry.

Perry officially ascended to the Presidency during MAFSI’s Membership Meeting on February 26th, and will serve a two-year term to conclude at the 2027 NAFEM Show. She previously served as Vice President and Treasurer, respectively. 
Stephanie Perry officially started her career in foodservice twenty-eight years ago as a territory rep for a tabletop manufacturer, but for those with ‘relative ability,’ her career really began when she was taught how to name an ice maker by the shape of the cube—at the age of four. Today, she runs a hybrid rep/distribution company with a focus on equipment and refrigeration and is the president of Permul Ltd. in Mississauga, Ontario.

She has been a member of the MAFSI Board of Directors since 2017 and currently serves as President. She has also served as chair of the Membership and Marketing Committee and has won MAFSI’s Special Achievement Award TWICE – in 2018, and again in 2020. She lives in Toronto with her husband and teen twins, and in her downtime, she enjoys playing golf, skiing, and traveling without her laptop.

“Stephanie has been on our board for over seven years, and is a tremendous asset both to MAFSI, and to the industry as a whole” said Alison Cody, MAFSI’s Executive Director. “She has a solutions-driven mindset with a can-do attitude, that is positively infectious. She’s already propelling MAFSI and our members forward like never before and reaching outside our membership to solve issues that affect our entire industry.” 

As president, Perry leads the Association alongside MAFSI’s four-person Executive Committee which includes herself, Vice President -  Chris East, Treasurer - Garrett Redd, Chairman - Neil Inverso and MAFSI’s 27 person Board of Directors.
