“IFMA’s Board of Directors has always shaped the strategies and initiatives that serve our membership and the industry,” said Phil Kafarakis, President and CEO of IFMA. “With Herb Ring remaining onboard as Chair, our directors and officers will finalise a new long-term plan in early 2023 to continue moving the association forward. With their leadership, we expect to more directly support the entire food-away-from-home industry.”

IFMA is positioning itself to be an invaluable resource for the entire industry. It’s an exciting time to be here.”
