    President/CEO at Delaware Restaurant Association/ Delaware Restaurant Foundation

    Restaurants employ 1 in 10 Delawareans so the challenges of our communities often find their way into our industry. We are not alone and together with many families and business sectors that have been touched by the opioid epidemic, restaurants search for ways to make a difference! 50% of people dine in restaurants each day so arming restaurant workers with knowledge and information to support someone that may need help is part of why we are the cornerstone of every community. Restaurant operators and their employees are a vital network of frontline workers that support communities in need! Great working with Delaware's Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) on this great video promoting a national model for training and policy development around this public health crisis and training workforce through DSAMH's Accolade Program! Public/private partnerships work!

    ‼️ New Video Alert!! 🚨 🥘 What do Buffalo Wild Wings, Limestone BBQ and Bourbon, Eggspectations, and Jersey Mike’s have in common? They’ve all earned Gold Level recognition in The Restaurant Accolade Program! 🥘 The program was created to assist the restaurant industry with addressing the drug overdose crisis. This initiative equips restaurant employees with knowledge, skills, and resources — such as Narcan® kits — to reduce deaths. Link to the video is below in the comments!

  • As leadership evolves, the need for agility has never been more important-- creating unlimited opportunities for women in the hospitality industry! While data shows that women and men lead differently–together they can be especially powerful. How women think about building their own professional networks is vital! We are excited to present the 2024 Women of Hospitality Conference specifically designed to engage women at every level of their leadership journeys to foster connection and community while showcasing the stories and tools of inspiration for women to think differently! Join us for an incredible day meant to support women's professional development and to help power-up the organizations they work for! -Carrie Leishman, President/CEO at Delaware Restaurant Association/ Delaware Restaurant Foundation
