A message from your out going President,
It is with sadness that I have completed my years of president of the Illinois
Association of Nutrition and Food Service Professionals. It has been a time fill with joy and sadness as we have lost a few members along the way. This reminds me that we are just on this earth for a flicker of a flame in the sense of time and we should make the best of every situation and path that life gives us. Many a day we tend to worry about the small minute things in life and do not really look at the big picture, all bound up about this and that and it all does not matter in the scope of living and having the chance to help each other along the way. I hope that this new year and up coming holiday season brings joy and happiness to all of you and that you take the time to love one another and make a difference in the life of someone you know. I can only say that my times moving up the boards and serving as your President has been some of the most enjoyable times of my life and I wish you all the best in the years to come. To all of the newer and younger members out there in the food service trade as we strive to be the best that we can be for our clients, residents, inmates, and children, that they take a look at the time they have and the goals they make and include the IANFP in their path down the tray line of life and volunteer in any way they can and they will be better for it. Again thank you for allowing me to serve you as President for the last few years and to be part of your lives as it has been not a chore but an honor to serve you and the dietary trade.
Dave

Keynote speaker with a refreshingly candid, humorous and extremely dynamic presentation style.
Utilizing self-deprecating humor and anecdotes pulled from a colorful collection of experiences,
Ken communicates a powerful values driven message through a variety of subject focus areas. The
“red thread” of continuity that is present in all of Ken’s programs is the simple truth that “the most meaningful success any of us can achieve is that which we help another develop for themselves”.
Since beginning a public speaking life in 1988, Ken has traveled the United States and internationally keynoting many national, state and regional service industry conferences, as well as presenting workshops for many of the industry’s largest providers and suppliers. Ken’s focused work is done with the leadership teams of many of GFS’s largest customers.
Ken says - Author-Motivator-Doer-Marketer-Catalyst I am a “on the road” advocate for the success of individuals and organizations involved in all aspects of the service industries delivering over 250 individual programs per year. As a nationally recognized key note speaker and facilitator, I have delivered in excess of 5000 professional development programs focusing on values-based accomplishment enhanced through strengthened interpersonal skills. Areas of recognized expertise include Interpersonal Communication, Harnessing the Dynamics of Change, Focusing on the
Essence of Leadership and Consumerism. In addition to workshops with thousands of companies I have delivered keynote addresses for the National Hospital Association, the National Restaurant
Association, the American Dietics Association, Walt Disney World, Sodexo, Compass, Abbot Labs, and hundreds of other state and national organizations. I am the author of 2007 “Live Life Like you
Mean It” text and work study course. He has been speaking since 1987.

SAFE FOOD FOR SENIORS ACT 2013
On May 23, 2013, House of Representatives, Tom Latham (R-Ia) and co-sponsor, Earl Blumenauer
(D-Or) introduced Safe Food for Seniors Act of 2013 (H.R. 2181) into Congress.
SFS H.R. 2181 requires that federally funded skilled nursing facilities (SNF) have their director of food services, in the absence of a full time dietitian, be trained as a Certified Dietary Manager,
Certified Food Protection Professional (CDM,CFPP) or a Dietetic Technician, Registered (DTR), or have the equivalent training from military experience or traditional education.
The Safe Food for Seniors Act of 2013 (H.R.2181) ensures recognition of the CDM credential nationwide.
There is a need for more co-sponsors. Communicate with your House Representative and explain the purpose of this bill. There is more information including the language in the bill, sample letters to send and more on the wed site at www.anfponline.org
To keep the bill moving, the Gimme 10! Campaign encourages members to generate at least 10 cosponsors. Help ANFP meet the challenge! Members can find a sample letter and presentation paper to send to their U.S. Representatives urging them to co-sponsor
H.R. 2181 at www.anfponline.org. Don’t know who to send it to? Visit http://www.house.gov/ and scroll down to find the representative for your district. Thanks for your support!

Food & Nutrition Services—“CARE Is Our Main Course”
Now is the time to think about National Healthcare Food Service Week events. Your food service employees deserve attention and praise for their heartfelt dedication. Your facility benefits as well from appreciation activities, since they have been shown to improve both teamwork and workplace performance. They also enhance job satisfaction, which leads to higher retention rates. National Healthcare
Food Service Week began in Illinois in 1985. It didn’t take long to make its way across the United States. Congress officially recognized the week in 1989.
