IFMA, along with its board of directors, is currently establishing a new Go-To-Market Model for the foodservice industry.
The advisory board will offer input on this new model and identify collaboration opportunities for new industry best practices.
IFMA president and CEO Larry Oberkfell said: “It is critical that we include and consider the chain restaurant needs in our work as they represent approximately 50% of the consumer revenue of the entire industry.
“We are proud to include in this advisory board individuals, which the industry considers the best minds in our business.”
