The FSD advisory board

As we roll into the month of May, FoodService Director prepares to introduce a new advisory board, whose members will help guide us in planning our editorial calendars and our MenuDirections conference, and provide a sounding board for what works, what doesn’t work and what could work better in the pages of FoodService Director and foodservicedirector.com.

Our new board is an outgrowth of the MenuDirections advisory board, which we have had for the past several years. The insights of this board have been invaluable in making our conference the success that it is.

But MenuDirections is just one of several products we have, and reader involvement is just as critical to their success. So we approached more than two dozen operators whose opinions we have relied on unofficially in the past and asked them to consider giving of their time in an official capacity.

The advisory board has not been filled with names that would look nice on our masthead, but with people who we feel can really help our products become even more must-use than they are now. To reinforce that idea, we’ve asked each member to give us only a two-year commitment.

You’ll meet our new board in the June issue of FoodService Director, as well as on our website. We have a lot of initiatives under consideration, and with the help of our board members we will shape them into elements of our portfolio that will aid you in achieving your goals as managers in this unique and innovative marketplace we call non-commmercial foodservice.
