This month we are recognizing Jeff Wuolett, CDM, CFPP of the Minnesota (MN) ANFP Chapter. Jeff joined ANFP as an Allied member in 2012 while enrolled in a dietary manager program in Eastern Iowa. He became certified in 2013 and began volunteering with the MN ANFP chapter in 2016 as the secretary and is currently serving as president-elect in his second term.
Jeff has also served on various committees at both the state and national level. At the National level, he has served on the Awards & Recognition Committee, Chapter Leadership Team, Marketing & Communications and Government Affairs Committees as well as a Director at Large on the National Board of Directors from 2020-2023.
Having served in these roles, Jeff has been able to bring a new approach to the way our organization interacts with our members and has been able to connect with younger professionals within the chapter and throughout membership.
Moving forward Jeff hopes to see the membership grow as industry members are facing a lot of burnout and will need new CDM, CFPPs to succeed those that leave the industry or retire. Additionally, he would like to see continual recognition of the CDM, CFPP credential and eventually become the industry standard.
Thank you, Jeff, for your continuous hard work and dedication to MN ANFP and our members! Volunteers like you ensure sustainability and growth for our future. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated!
We’d like to recognize you as our Volunteer of the Month. Please send your nominations to asolazzo@ANFPonline.org.
