President's Message

R_Horgan_Small


I am honored to be representing the Greater Atlanta Chapter of the American Culinary Federation. As the new President of the Chapter, I would like to invite people from all areas of the food industry to come out and see what we have been doing over the last several years to make our organization more aligned with the food machine in Atlanta. As so many in our community give tirelessly of their time, talent and treasure we to want to do our part helping where ever we can. Education, scholarships, social and business networking, charitable fundraising and a lot of good cooking are just a few of the ways the Atlanta Chapter of the ACF stays connected to the Atlanta food community. Join us when you can, it is fun.
