A RECIPE FOR INNOVATION AND INSIGHT
Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network
We help grow food & beverage businesses AND our local communities.
We at CFBN are getting a quick start in 2022 with lots of new?and exciting happenings. First, we are thrilled to welcome the new Chair of our Board of Directors, Andria Long.?
Andria has driven profitable growth for both public and private family-owned companies and now leverages her operating experience from 7 Fortune 1000 companies to be a strategic advisor and Board Director. She is an asset for businesses, owners and executives seeking guidance on driving revenue and people growth by quickly identifying insights and connections and translating them into strategic growth opportunities. We look forward to working with Andria to?continue?our innovative work at the Network.
We would also like to take the time to thank our outgoing Board Chair, Joel Warady. It has been quite a tumultuous two years with the pandemic in the background, but Joel's dedication and commitment to our network was unwavering. We are appreciative of the strategic?leadership he offered the Network and look forward to having him stay on as a continuing member of our Board!
As we look ahead to 2022, we have some important upgrades in store for our members -- we just offered our first successful hybrid (in person?and?virtual) event, we are in the midst of rolling out a brand new look for our website, and we are working from our new West Loop office space at the CoLaboratory. Keep an eye out for updates on all these exciting happenings.?
