Sit at the Chef’s table | Join the Champion’s Circle
The Champion’s Circle is a gathering of MAD supporters who are choosing to build the future of restaurants and food systems by investing in emerging leaders. Champion’s Circle members are forward-thinking, much like the global hospitality community we serve. They have a seat at the table as we discuss and debate bold choices for our programs, how to create greater impact, and what we will do to thrive as an innovative and inclusive voice for the future of food.
