This will allow me to leverage our dining program to help others and borrow ideas to elevate our RIT community's dining experience. It is very humbling to be named Board Chair of the most respected association in collegiate food service and to have the most talented food service professionals look to me for guidance. Over the last 13 years, I have leaned on the NACUFS Association and forged partnerships with universities across the world to improve RIT's dining experience. Leading Trustees from this association to provide value to our universities is a huge responsibility, which I welcome with excitement and gratitude."
