Foodservice Industry Veteran Honored by NAFEM
ANAHEIM, CALIF. - The North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers
(NAFEM) presented Louise O'Sullivan, president, Prime Advantage Corp.,
with the 2005 William W. Carpenter Award at The NAFEM Show, Sept. 24, Anaheim,
Calif.
"Her leadership and commitment to professional development and enrichment
has led to more than 1,100 industry professionals earning the Certified Foodservice
Professional (CFSP) designation," said Steven D. Cobb, CFSP, NAFEM president
and president/CEO, Henny Penny Corporation, Eaton, Ohio. "Louise is an exceptional
foodservice industry leader and has helped to make NAFEM and our industry stronger."
O'Sullivan
began her career in the foodservice industry with Groen in advertising, marketing
and sales positions, and quickly rose through the ranks before being named president
in 1985. In 1994, she co-founded Prime Advantage Corp., a private buying group
for manufacturers. Her NAFEM career is equally impressive. In addition to assisting
in the launch of the CFSP program, she served on the board of directors, and
as treasurer, secretary and vice president before assuming the NAFEM presidency
- the first woman in NAFEM history to hold that title - in 1991.
The William W. Carpenter Award, the association's highest honor, recognizes
an individual who has dedicated their life to NAFEM and the foodservice equipment
and supplies industry.
