Welcome back food friends! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. See below a note from our new Food@Haas presidents and apply for a VP role!
Dear Food@Haas members,
We are incredibly excited to serve as your new Co-Presidents. We have very big shoes to fill and are setting high expectations for what we can accomplish in the coming year! Our objective is to establish Haas as the destination for MBAs interested in food. Be it social experiences or professionally-oriented events, we want to make sure Food@Haas has an impact on your Haas experience and attracts future applicants too.
We will not be able to accomplish any of these objectives without a strong team behind us; to this end, please see below to apply for VP positions and join us on this journey!
In the coming weeks, once the new leadership team is formed, we will share our goals for the oncoming year. As always, we will be actively looking to hear your ideas and expectations throughout the next year.
We'd like to give a big thank you to the outgoing presidents, Amanda and Adrian, and the rest of the Food@Haas leadership team for doing an incredible job. We look forward to building on the great work they’ve done this year! We are thankful for the opportunity and raring to get started.
Yours,
Jose and Shom
