Our Board
Strategic direction in support of our organizational mission
Our Boards are made up of dedicated and experienced restaurant and hospitality leaders from across Connecticut who volunteer their time throughout the year in support of our mission.
Our Board members are a reflective cross-section of our industry - from single location owners to multi-location restaurant groups, franchisees, caterers, industry educators, and more. We work to ensure that our Boards are engaged, active, and representative of the diverse restaurant and hospitality landscape in our state.
