Today, we wrapped up a wonderful week in Cleveland! Our morning policy breakfast ended with a fantastic speaker: Ron Fournier from the National Journal. Ron shared his insights about this year's election, what we've witnessed this week the convention, and how the American people are just as eager for change today as they were eights years with the election of President Obama.
We concluded the day with our final viewing party and then going over to the Convention Hall to witness history in person. It has been a true pleasure to showcase the role of restaurants at this year's Convention as part of our #Restaurantsdecide campaign! We represent an incredibly diverse industry that is the fabric of every community in America including Cleveland. The opportunity to work with Chef/Restauranteur Zack Bruell and his eleven Cleveland restaurants, specifically Cowell & Hubbard, demonstrates the passion and desire to help their communities that all restauranteurs possess. It was our honor to welcome Americans from all of the country into Cowell & Hubbard this week.
Next week, we're taking our #restaurantsdecide campaign to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention!

8 年Love Ron. Follow him as regularly as I can. Balanced, unvarnished insights. Must have been a great treat.

8 年@Dawn keep up the great work on behalf of the small business owner. Single stand alone restaurants are at the heart of the economy and employ millions. They all struggle with access to reliable and non transient workforce.
