This month we are recognizing Andrea Armstrong, CDM, CFPP of the Indiana (IN) ANFP Chapter. Andrea first joined ANFP in 2010. A few years later she began to get involved by volunteering on the chapter’s Finance Committee serving on the committee from 2019 to 2022. From there she moved into the President Elect role from 2022 to 2023 and graduated to the role of President this year and will hold the position through 2025. Additionally, Andrea is currently a member of the Certifying Board of Dietary Managers.
As a chapter leader, Andrea plays a large role in planning the IN ANFP chapter meetings. She knows it takes a lot of moving parts and connections to get the planning done and is an integral part of each piece of the preparation and execution. The IN ANFP chapter takes pride in making their conferences fun, exciting and filled with a variety of educational topics for their members. However, to deliver this type of conference, Andrea recognizes this takes time and much preparation starting at least one year to six months from the meeting dates.
Looking at the future, Andrea would like to see ANFP continue to grow in its membership and continue to attract professionals that are new to the organization as well as help recruit and mentor the next generation of dietary and foodservice professionals.
Thank you, Andrea, for your hard work and dedication to ANFP and the credential! Our chapters remain one of the great benefits of ANFP because of volunteer leaders like you!
We’d like to recognize you and your fellow chapter leaders as our Volunteers of the Month in 2024. Please send your nominations (which can include yourself) to asolazzo@ANFPonline.org.
