OUR KEY SUPPORTERS
IWEC Foundation
IWEC’s network is made up of successful women business owners with proven track records in revenue, employee base, trade, innovation and corporate social responsibility.
The International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge Foundation (IWEC) is a 501c(3) registered nonprofit organization based in New York City. As a global initiative, it provides networking, educational and mentoring opportunities for successful female business owners helping them gain and expand access to international markets.

Mehtani Restaurant Group
Sneh Mehtani opened her first restaurant, “The Moghul Room,” in New York City’s Pennsylvania Hotel in 1983.
Having no industry specific knowledge, she learned on her feet as she put together a remarkable group of chefs and gained respect from her customers and industry professionals alike. In 1990 she asked her husband, Satish, to help her expand to Edison, New Jersey, a small suburb of Manhattan that had relatively few Indian immigrants at the time.
As the expansion continued, the Mehtani Restaurant Group became famous not only for its Indian offerings, but also for its Asian restaurants, trendsetting cocktails, beautiful banquet hall, and premiere off-premise catering services. In 2013, Sneh received the New Jersey Restaurant & Hospitality Association’s Restaurateur of the Year award, which recognized her not only for her success but also for her passion and drive. Sneh & Satish have dedicated their lives to providing their customers with delicious food and warm service, but with this award came time for retirement. Their son Shaun who recently took-over the family business hopes to raise the name of the Mehtani Restaurant Group in the world of hospitality by continuing his parents’ legacy.
JFK Medical Center
Success often begins with the spark of an idea. In 1961, Mayor Anthony Yelencsics recognized the need for a community hospital in Edison to provide high quality, accessible care and create good jobs. That idea flourished and, in 1967, JFK Medical Center opened its doors to our first patients. Beginning with just 200 beds, JFK Medical Center introduced the region to a culture of excellence combining high technology and clinical specialists who deliver comprehensive and compassionate care.
50 years later, JFK Medical Center is now one of New Jersey’s most comprehensive facilities, having transformed from a community hospital to an award winning and nationally recognized expert in neuroscience and rehabilitation. Our growth and determination to meet and exceed the needs of our youngest community members to our senior population are stronger than ever as we add new clinical services, expand access to more locations and collaborate with our physicians in new and exciting ways. Today we acknowledge every gift donated to build the hospital – from local business, civic and social organizations to the township residents who went door-to-door collecting funds. Recognition goes to our donors, boards of directors, administrators, physicians, nurses, staff and employees, auxilians and volunteers for taking the vision expressed by the Mayor in a single phone call and turning it into a reality. JFK is proud to be an indispensable healthcare resource to the communities we serve.

He returned to Italy after finishing the cathedral, and in 1907 Battista moved back to the United States with his wife and sons. One of Battista's sons, Joseph, and his wife, Esther, began working in the wholesale beverage industry in Paterson, NJ in 1913. The Opici family celebrated their 75th anniversary in the wine business in 2009.
