President's Message
Hello to all Members & Partners,
Another great step forward in the battle to creating a stronger and more resilient culinary industry of the future as we all attempt to schedule our vaccines while staying vigilante with masks, social distancing and as we all do and have done for our entire career wash our hands.
I have spoken with and meet with numerous Culinary leaders in the Atlanta area and all have expressed tremendous outlook for the upcoming season and beyond, I have heard everything from an expected renaissance to a explosion of pent up demand to get out and eat/socialize, we all have been sitting on the sidelines trying to get by with little to no work while helping our fellow co-workers and neighbors in need, now is the time to plan and expect business to return. Build your teams, plan your menus, schedule your events and cook some amazing food.
I know we all respect the ACF and all it does and have done for us all and now it that time again to look at all of our Nominated members who are running for elected positions for national office and select those you believe will do the best job to move our association forward into a new area of prosperity. Please log into the National ACF website and look at who is running and decide who you would like to vote for. The election paper ballots will be mailed on 4/19/2021 and electronic Ballots will be mailed 4/26/2021. This is the most important election in the history of our association in my opinion. So please vote and let your voice be heard.
Our new website is up and running and all of you have had a chance to take a look and see what t has to offer, we anticipate that it will help both members and partner better in gage and keep in touch with what we are doing throughout the year while linking those members with the best leading suppliers in Atlanta.
Plans are in the works to return to in person meetings and events, i encourage each and every one to closely what’s the website and social media feeds for further information regarding events and volunteer opportunities. The best is yet to come I promise you!!!!!!!!
All the Best
