THE IMPORTANCE OF
PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
Innovation Award-recognizes
innovative management in foodservice
operations through financial
management, creative problem
solving, culinary expertise, or unique
staff engagement initiatives.
Distinguished Service Award-
presented to a CDM, CFPP or corporate
sponsor who is an expert in their field
and has exhibited strong support for
ANFP and its mission.
Horizon Award-recognizes new CDM,
CFPPs with less than five years in the
profession who have enthusiastically
embraced their profession through
chapter volunteering, leadership, or an
innovative approach to their career.
Partnership Award-recognizes
a company or facility (member or
non-member) which demonstrates
a strong commitment to the CDM,
CFPP credential and/or educational
programs.
Student of the Year Award-
presented to the student member
who has exemplified dedication in
obtaining the CDM, CFPP credential
and continued pursuit of a career in
food service.
Legacy Award-considered a lifetime
achievement award for a CDM, CFPP
with 15 years of service and has served
at least three years on the national
board of ANFP or the CBDM.
HOW TO SUBMIT A
NOMINATION
Most awards can be either selfnominated
or nominated by a
peer or chapter leader, which we
highly recommend. State chapters
submitting one or more nominations
will receive extra credit for the State
Achievement Award (see application
for details). Multiple submissions for
awards can be sent. For example, an
award applicant can be nominated
THOMAS THAMAN, CDM, CFPP |
for both the Dining Distinction Award
and the Innovation Award. However,
if selected, the committee will
award only one of the submissions-
whichever one is more appropriate.
Nominations are currently open and
can be completed online on the ANFP
website on the Events and Recognition
link. The nominations will close on
March 1. A narrative for the nominee
should be specific and justify why that
individual is deserving. A winning
nomination can include pictures,
testimonials (especially from the
nominee's leader or administrator),
quality data, or social media links.
Professional recognition should
not be overlooked. Let's celebrate
the dedication of our members and
partners by nominating them for one
of the 2024 ANFP awards. E
