This month we are honoring Lynn Nail, CDM, CFPP of the Arkansas (AR) ANFP chapter.
Lynn joined ANFP in 2006 and began volunteering with the chapter in 2010. She started as a district president and eventually worked her way up to the chapter president in 2013. Since that time, Lynn has held the position seven separate times and is currently the president of the chapter.
During her many years of service, Lynn recruited many new members. She also spent time mentoring these members and provided support and encouragement in the ever-changing world of foodservice management.
Like all chapters, AR ANFP faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic including keeping the chapter sustainable and members engaged. However, Lynn was able to keep the chapter moving forward and recently held their first state meeting since the pandemic that was a great success.
As for the future of AR ANFP, Lynn would like to help members understand the importance of ANFP and its members, that are valuable resources and sounding boards for one another. She would also like to see more members step forward to volunteer with the chapter to spread this message.
Lynn, thank you for your many years of service and dedication! Your perseverance and positive attitude have helped elevate the AR ANFP chapter and its members. Thank you!
We’d like to recognize you and your fellow chapter leaders as our Volunteers of the Month in 2023. Please send your nominations (which can include yourself) to asolazzo@ANFPonline.org.
