Jodi did an excellent job of putting together a wonderful conference for School Food Service Directors in Minneapolis. The most amazing thing about the conference was the attendees were from all over the United States. A great job of recruiting was done by Jodi as well as making sure the conference satisfied the ongoing educational requirements of the attending professionals. Jodi's leadership and organizational skills were also best exemplified when she was the program coordinator for the 2009 AACC conference in Baltimore, MD. It was one of the better AACC conferences I have attended and I believe the content was the best part of the program. Last, as a leader in the MN IFT organization I have always seen Jodi as trusted voice. Jodi is tapped into the trends and needs of the food industry and is also reliable and timely with her feedback. I always value Jodi's insight and input. I would recommend Jodi for any position that requires a great deal of leadership, self driven work, and opportunities to interact and grow with others.
