“We are thrilled to partner with CHART, an organization that shares our commitment to providing access to leadership development for their restaurant, foodservice, and lodging company members. Since GLEAM was started during the height of the pandemic, our all-volunteer team has served hundreds of committed professionals in our great industry with GLEAM’s signature 1:1 Mentor Programs, our new Career Advancement Program, and our small group Learning Circles. We are grateful that we have some CHART members who have previously participated as mentees, or graciously offered their time as volunteer mentors; we look forward to this alliance partnership as a way of serving and supporting many more CHART members,” said Sheri Miksa, GLEAM Board Member and Mentor Programs Leader.
