Chef Jeff Cousminer on the multiple roles of a research chef

When you're a co-founder of an organization (or one of the original 20), it can be challenging to watch it evolve and grow in the hands of other leaders and volunteers who came after you. There's an element of belief that you have been able to share the original objectives and trust that the organization will meet the needs of its members. Chef Jeff has been a voice in the RCA to encourage reflection upon our legacy but has also recognized that the way we differentiate our members within the food industry has to change to continue to enable to us to add value.
