NACUFS 2016 National Conference Registration Guide
“After every NACUFS national conference, I’m even more inspired to continue building a foundation with my gift of service for today’s students, my colleagues, and future generations. No matter where you are in your professional journey, this is the premier event for campus dining professionals.” ~Dawn Aubrey, Associate Director of University Housing for Dining Services University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign NACUFS Board of Trustees President (2015-2016) VISIT: www.NACUFS.org/2016 FOR THE LATEST CONFERENCE UPDATES. 1
Welcome to Anaheim, SoCal, and the Pacific Region The 2016 National Conference Committee invites you to Imagine, Discover, and Explore Anaheim and all the city and our conference have to offer.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW FOR JULY 13-16 AND JOIN US AT THE NACUFS 2016 NATIONAL CONFERENCE!
Participate in sessions that will invigorate your dining operations.
Our education team has developed a program of general session speakers to inspire, motivate, and provide you with information that you can put to use in your operations. From Chef Jeff Henderson to Food Humorist Robert Rosenthal, we’re sure the “Wow” factor will be high. Our Super Sessions will include a program by the Culinary Institute of America on Menus of Change and another by Disney about the magic of concept creation and guest services. We’ll be offering four “nuts and bolts” tracks of interest sessions to help you focus your personal conference scheduling: culinary and nutrition; training and human resources; operations, administration, and planning; and sales, marketing, and communication. The theme in our conference cuisine has been developed to highlight local, fresh, and healthy ingredients in a creative and delicious way. Our culinary team has worked hard to come up with a menu that will be tasty, attractive, nutritious, and interesting so that it will be an educational experience in and of itself. So please, come hungry. Along with tried and true events like the Theodore W. Minah Award dinner, the Culinary Challenge, a vast showcase at the Anaheim Convention Center, and Club NACUFS, we’ve also planned an unforgettable closing event at Disney California Adventure® on Saturday night. You’ll be able to play, ride, eat, and socialize from four in the afternoon until closing. So at the very least, prepare to be enlightened and entertained by our education program. Feast and be amazed by our food and beverage offerings, and navigate our networking opportunities to engage with your peers and friends. You get the IDEA. Russ Meyer NACUFS 2016 National Conference Chair

Armed with a professional culinary degree and a standup comedy background, he speaks from experience with authority and humor. Renowned for presenting content with comedy on four continents, Rob developed award-winning ad campaigns for Anheuser-Busch, Heineken, Evian and Absolut…while overeating in 3,000 restaurants around the world.

CULINARY CHALLENGE
Come one, come all to the 16th NACUFS Culinary Challenge. Pans will be sizzling, knives will be moving with speed and precision and competition will be fierce, as the six contestants chosen in regional challenges earlier this year face off and race against the clock in this American Culinary Federation-sanctioned contest. The challenge is classified as a Category W — Customized Wildcard Competition. Individual competitors will have 60 minutes to prepare four portions of an original hot entrée, featuring the mandatory ingredients of edamame, black kale and red rice, to create a nutritionally balanced plate. In addition, the competitors will be judged on two classic knife skills. Three ACF-approved judges will select the winners. Contestants will be judged on the taste of the finished product, the demonstration of cooking skills and culinary techniques, and the practice of organizational skills, including sanitation principles. ACF gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded on competition point totals. All participants will receive certificates. Be sure to stop by and cheer for your region’s competitor!
