Hello Chefs,

 

Hi everyone. With regret, I announce the resignation of Chef Rassiel Gomez CEC as Chairman of the Board of the ACF Miami Chapter. Chef Rassel has served us well and both Past President and Chairman. I have attached his letter for you to read. He will continue as a Board member for the chapter.

 

I also announce the re-appointment of Chef Anthony Lauri CEC AAC, as the acting Chairman of the Board. He has served in the past as President for an 8-year term as well as Chairman for as many years. He is well suited to the inner workings of our chapter and remains an active ACF member. During my Presidency he has attended our meetings, National Conventions and has judged our competitions at Johnson & Wales. I have personally known him for 20+ years.

 

A primary reason for re-appointing Chef Tony is to maintain two required Chapter signatory custodians on our new CD Advisory account. We should never have just one officer having access to these monies and Chef Tony has demonstrated his loyalty, trust, and involvement in our chapter.

 

Please join me in wishing Chef Rassiel much success in his restaurant and thank him for his years of service. Also, please thanks, Chef Tony, for stepping up in our time of need!

 

Thank you, Tom
