SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Contracting with a culinary chef can provide SNS employees with valuable hands-on experience and the one-on-one technical assistance that is needed for employees to prepare and promote quality food items. Chef Guggenmos was chosen because he has a B.S. degree in culinary nutrition, a B.A degree in food service management, and a masters degree in organizational leadership. He has worked in several chef positions and recently finished an internship through the American Dietetic Association to become a registered dietitian. The diversity he has in skills and education prepares him to work well with school nutrition employees.
Chef Guggenmos will provide culinary training to all SNS employees through a series of small group trainings. He will also provide technical assistance, one-on-one with individual school employees, as needed. Students will benefit from culinary demonstrations that include nutrition basics. And lastly, he will develop and test new recipes and preparation techniques that ensure the production of high quality foods in all schools. Overall, Chef Guggenmos will bring valuable culinary expertise to the SNS program by helping managers meet their goal of "quality food, quality service everyday to every child."
