This month we are honoring Corinna DesRoches, CDM, CFPP of the North Dakota ANFP Chapter.
Corinna became a CDM, CFPP in 2022 and has worked in healthcare/senior living dining for 40 years where she started as a part-time dietary aide right out of school, and worked her way up in the field, holding various positions throughout the years.
Shortly after obtaining the credential, she started volunteering with her chapter as the education/program chair, planning chapter meetings which they often partner with the North Dakota Long Term Care Association. In addition to Corinna’s many years of serving as the education chair, she has been involved with the chapter’s fundraising efforts, trade show booths and hospitality committee that oversees the hospitality suites at their meetings. She is currently the ND ANFP chapter president and has served in the role since 2019 but will soon be passing the baton to her president-elect.
Corinna’s biggest impact on the chapter has been collaborating as team and bringing new ideas to the table that help strengthen and grow the membership as well as support members when needed.
For the future of ND ANFP, Corinna would like to see the membership continue to grow as well as see new members step into volunteer roles where they can gain confidence and be comfortable in their roles to contribute new ideas to the chapter.
As for volunteering, Corinna states, “I want all members to know that the support and knowledge we receive from ANFP is wonderful and they are always there to help us succeed every day and we are never alone, we are all in this together.”
Thank you, Corinna! ND ANFP has continued to be a strong and successful chapter because of your continuous support and dedication. Thank you for all you do!
