The Great Mid-West Coalition Takes on Chicago

The Great Mid-West Coalition (GMWC) convened at the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, on Dec. 12-13, for its regional meeting.

Members were given brand updates by BURGER KING® Corp. (BKC) representatives and had the opportunity to network among themselves and vendor partners.

General session on the first day opened with remarks by GMWC Chair Matt Carpenter, followed by a presentation by GMWC member Mark Malenchik and a report by BKC. Later that evening, members and vendors were able to mingle with one another at a three-course dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

The following day, Restaurant Services Inc. CEO, Joel Neikirk, and NFA Chair Dan Fitzpatrick gave remarks. Woven into the agenda were presentations from supporting vendor partners Budderfly, The Coca-Cola Co. and True Payroll Integration. To close the event, the vendors were given the opportunity to have an open forum with GMWC members.

Keep a watchful eye on GMWC communications to stay updated on the next regional meeting. n
