The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) hosted its annual Armed Forces Forum for Culinary Excellence event that brings together outstanding servicemen and women for hands-on cooking activities, interactive seminars, and mentoring and career-coaching sessions. Forty-seven servicemen and women representing all branches of the U.S. military benefited from Sodexo's platinum-level sponsorship of the 2017 event, held at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA). "As both a company committed to improving the Quality of Life for our military and the nation's largest federal foodservice contractor, Sodexo feels a special responsibility to support those who serve by working in the culinary arts," said Deborah Roberts, CEO, Sodexo Government, North America.
