Co-Chair Dawn Sweeney President and CEO National Restaurant Association

As President and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, Dawn Sweeney has been instrumental in focusing the mission of the Association through a unique, multi-year strategic plan, highlighting key areas of opportunity within the restaurant industry.

The National Restaurant Association’s members include quick service, fast casual, managed foodservice, casual and fine dining – along with manufacturers, suppliers and distributors. The American restaurant industry is composed of nearly one million restaurant and foodservice outlets and over 13 million employees. Since taking the helm at the end of 2007, Sweeney has led the Association through a wide-range of policy issues, while offering services and products that promote the industry and helping individual operators and large multi-unit companies succeed.

Sweeney has realigned the Association’s priorities and structure to strengthen its core operations, including consolidating its Foundation around a mission to develop a strong workforce and build the next generation of industry leaders. The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation’s major goal is to educate students on the restaurant business through the ProStart program – running in high schools nationwide – and to provide educational scholarships.

Sweeney has led the Association to several major legislative victories, including achieving federal legislation on menu-labeling, and has launched the first-of-its-kind children’s menu initiative – Kids LiveWell. Under her leadership, the Association’s annual trade show – the largest restaurant and hospitality industry trade show in the US – has seen growth both in revenue and impact.

Before joining the National Restaurant Association, Sweeney was president and CEO of AARP Services, the wholly owned taxable subsidiary of AARP. She grew annual revenues from $175 million to $785 million during her tenure – serving 11 million AARP members annually. Her 25+ years of marketing, advocacy and policy experience also include leadership positions at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, a membership organization of consumer-owned electric utilities, and the International Dairy Foods Association, the trade association for the nation’s dairy foods industry, where she played a major role in the launch of the “milk moustache” advertising campaign.

Sweeney has been named one of the perennial top association CEOs in the country for the past several years. She serves on the boards the U.S. Travel Association and the Women’s Foodservice Forum, and is an active member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Committee of 100, the International Women’s Forum, and the Committee of 200, an international network of female executives. She is also a charter member of Child Obesity 180, an initiative of private, public, non-profit and academic leaders committed to helping prevent childhood obesity through evidence-based initiatives.

A native of Maine, she is a graduate of Colby College and earned her MBA at George Washington University.

Sweeney lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and teenage son.

Scout Speaker Stephen Worley Lippincott Boy Scout, Westlake Troop 8 BSA Memorial Foundation Watch out; great things can happen when a young boy attends his older cousin’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor!

Stephen Lippincott attended his cousin’s Court of Honor in 2004 and knew then that he wanted to join Scouts. He then joined Cub Scouts as a Webelos Scout with Pack 460 in Kensington, Maryland. Stephen had fun and worked hard, earned all 20 activity pins, and earned both his religious emblem and the Arrow of Light award in May 2005. Immediately after, Stephen crossed over into Boy Scouts, joined Troop 8 in Bethesda, Maryland, and jumped into all that Scouting had to offer. He went on many outings, earning the National Camping Award with 100 nights of camping; earned over 70 merit badges; attended summer camps; and served on staff at Cub Scout Day Camp numerous years – as “that nature guy” for four years, then later as the director of the handicraft station.

While a Boy Scout, Stephen has biked the entire C&O canal, canoed, hiked, and participated in dozens of service projects.

As a Boy Scout, Stephen gave back to Scouting, serving as den chief to two different dens in his former pack, earning the national Den Chief Service Award. Next as troop guide, Stephen was the “Pied Piper” of the troop, encouraging younger Scouts to stay in the Scouting program. It wasn’t unusual at all for Stephen to attend a pack meeting, wearing one of his wacky hats and a fake Tiger tail attached to his Scout belt. Stephen’s sense of humor and fun has encouraged the next generation of Scouts.

In 2008, Stephen was elected into the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society. Again, he gave his time and talents, serving as a ceremonialist, ceremonies chief, chapter chief, and area chief. Stephen earned the rank of Eagle Scout in November 2009, and went on to earn three silver Palms. In 2011, he was granted Vigil Honor, the highest honor a Boy Scout can earn in the OA. Stephen was homeschooled and graduated from high school with honors from Cedar Brook Academy in June 2012. Currently a Montgomery Scholar in his second-year at Montgomery College, Stephen is pursuing public speaking, international relations or work in the legal arena. Current plans are to finish his Associate’s Degree at MC and transfer to a four-year university. In addition to his college studies, Stephen works with the youth group at Fairfax Church of Christ, is active in Boy Scouts and the Order of the Arrow, is a ceremonialist, and in his spare time enjoys swimming, biking, piano, chess and nature.

He lives in the Kensington, Maryland, area with his family.
