Member Reception Details a Great Evening in Charlotte
by Mark Sklarow, Executive Director, Independent Educational Consultants Association
Rachel Diamond, IECA’s conference manager has just worked out the final details for the optional Tuesday evening reception for IECA professional, student and associate members. Over 120 participants have already signed up for the event and those who have not yet done so should revise their conference registration to plan to join us.
The Member Reception will be held on November 10 on the Charlotte campus of Johnson & Wales University, one of the nation’s premier schools for the culinary arts. IECA will be providing round-trip bus transportation from the conference hotel. Those who wish to take a brief tour of the campus will depart the hotel early, with those planning on attending the event only joining them later at JWU.
Students and faculty will be joining us at the reception with student chefs preparing food at action stations throughout the room, giving members opportunities to discuss the school, the students’ experience, and their cooking methods!
In addition, we have planned a number of cooking and baking demonstrations in the school auditorium, providing attendees with a touch of The Food Channel, live. There will be lots to see, hear, and taste in the demonstration room.
I love the fact that when we visit these cities for conferences we are able to take advantage of unique opportunities afforded by what can be found in the host city. As an extra treat, Charlotte is one of the top NASCAR cities in the country, home to the Lowe’s Motor Speedway, and we’ll find a way to include the city’s passion for auto racing throughout the conference: from the opening green flag to the checkered flag on Saturday.
