The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) has received the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Industry Partnership Award at the 2011 ACF National Convention recently held in Dallas.
"Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board is honored to be recognized with this award. We are proud of the partnership WMMB and ACF have shared for many years," said Dave Leonhardi, director of education and events at WMMB. "Both organizations are united with the common goal to help educate and enhance professional growth of foodservice professionals."
Over the years, WMMB has worked with ACF to provide educational cheese resources and product samples, as well as sponsor event speakers and educational Wisconsin Cheese tours.
"Cheese education is a topic that is underserved in most culinary schools," Leonhardi said. "Our work with ACF helps fill this educational need, providing resources to educate future chefs and foodservice professionals of all levels."
