Foodservice Directors Symposium
The National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) invites a senior-level collegiate foodservice leader (e.g., Director, AVP, Contract Administrator) from up to 30 member schools to apply for a program grant to attend the Operator Roundtables (January 17-18) and Foodservice Directors Symposium (January 19-20) that follows. One leader from up to 30 member schools will be selected to receive a program grant.
The Operator Roundtables provides participants opportunities to engage with industry members who are committed to helping the collegiate foodservice segment meet their dining excellence and operational goals.
Following the Operator Roundtables, the 30 collegiate foodservice professionals will attend the Foodservice Directors Symposium. The symposium will include discussion around the future of dining services. Participants will have input into discussion topics beforehand. Possible topics may include:
- Succession planning and mentoring
- Supporting student success
- Communicating dining’s value to campus administrators
- Leading change
- Challenges in higher education
- Staffing concerns
- Trends in foodservice
As we continue to monitor the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in response to the continued rise in COVID-19 infections across the country, NACUFS has made the decision to implement additional safeguards for the health and safety of attendees and exhibitors at all upcoming in-person conference experiences.
