Our Advisory Board



Our Advisory Board is a group, comprised of local restauranteurs and food service professionals, that meets with the Chef instructors to help keep the curriculum current with industry standards. They are experts in the Culinary and Hospitality Industry and their help in keeping the program abreast of new innovations, products and concepts is invaluable.

Some bring supplies, others come to teach as Guest Chefs. Many of them are scouting for talent. All of them support the program in many ways. They are our eyes, ears and voice and we are grateful to have them as advisors.
