CHART Members at the Wisconsin Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Insights Summit chart.org > Trainer Development & Events > Upcoming Conferences
When it came to tapping hospitality training experts on “How Training and Development can Directly Impact Hiring, Engaging, and Keeping Top
Talent,” the Wisconsin Restaurant Association turned to CHART thought leaders. On November 2, these CHART member panelists delivered practical strategies for these operational issues. In addition, CHART President-Elect Damian Hanft was on a Keynote Lunch and Learn Panel Discussion on “Anticipating and Solving Key Challenges in Foodservice.” We love to see our members recognized in the industry for their leadership and expertise!

PresidenTalks The Power of Partnerships
In October, CHART partnered with Aggregage to launch Hospitality Management Today - a weekly personalized e-newsletter that brings together a wide set of hospitality articles, thought-leadership blogs, and research studies right to your inbox. Powered by Aggregage technology, Hospitality Management Today uses
Rachel Richal
machine intelligence, smart algorithms, social media, and audience-driven data to deliver the most relevant, custom-curated content to each reader.
In a first-of-its-kind partnership for CHART the results have already been a hit! For example, after launch, views of CHART member blogs featured in the newsletter have skyrocketed due to the power of this partnership. Hospitality trainers are looking for trusted solutions more than ever, and the partnership with Aggregage connected a wider audience of readers to the deep resources of CHART. As I looked at the success of this partnership so far, I began to think about the overall power of partnerships. As trainers, I truly believe our ability to partner with others is key to our success. When you think about it, in our roles at work, we rely on others as subject matter experts, as executors of training, and as feedback providers. Our partners rely on us to create and deliver training on either programs they create or standards that drive the business. When I think about my day-to-day at work, I am surrounded and supported by partners. To name a few… Cross-functional teams — I have always taken the approach that my success and the success of my team is built on relationships. When you can connect the dots between the teams in the
organization and how they all achieve a common goal, your days begin to get easier, and work is just more fun. We rely on these teams for accurate and timely information, and they rely on us to create and execute training. The key is for everyone to know their role in the game and set clear and accountable expectations with each other. Vendors — At CHART we call them partners as they are tried-and-true vendors of CHART members that we believe have the best interest in helping our member companies be successful. This is key when selecting vendor partners. If you aren’t connected to vendors for your brand, become partners with those who are to be introduced. Vendors often have creative ideas to enhance your training, give out prizes, or drive execution, and can be a great resource for ideas. Those you work for, who work for you, or are your counterparts — This is about true teamwork! Partnership can happen on any level of the team. A rockstar team dynamic is built from people who have a variety of talents and complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. When you stop looking at levels and look at how you partner to achieve a goal, magic happens from true collaboration. Lastly, other trainers (and, I am so thankful to CHART for this one!) — When you think about CHART and the reputation we have, it is always about building a network - a network of hospitality training partners who know what you're going through and have big ideas to share. If you are not tapping into Ask My Peers, reaching out to the last person you met at a conference, or using the member list to find someone to bounce an idea off of, I highly encourage you to use these resources as your next partnership!
As I wrap up this very work-focused list of partners, I encourage you to also thank the partners you have in your personal life. Whether a spouse (shoutout to Dan Richal who deals with me day-to-day), a sibling, a friend, an old colleague, or a dog-sitter (or a dog), we all need strong partnerships!

Getting to Know Your Seattle Conference Team
Like a stunning piece of multicolored Chihuly glass art, our conference team comes together to make a beautiful combination. To get to know them better, we asked them: “ What’s the one artistic/creative thing about you people don’t know and may be surprised to hear?”
John Isbell Vice President of Learning & Development, Portillo’s, Inc.
REGISTRATION CO-DIRECTOR
Corban Nichols , Director of Restaurant Excellence and Training, Piada Italian Street Food “I am a singer/songwriter who has previously been signed to a record label, and recently produced an album available on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. The largest crowd I have ever performed for was 13,000 people at an overseas festival.” Kristie Edmunds , Talent Development Manager, Flatbread Company “I am into setting up spaces that are aesthetically pleasing. I like to find things that ‘speak to me,’ and then find the best place to display them in my home. It gives me so much joy looking around a space that has special things popping out in unexpected ways.” FIRST-TIME ATTENDEE CO-DIRECTOR Curt Archambault , Vice President, People and Performance Strategies “Shockingly, I am not an artistic/creative type, which will surprise nobody! I became more artistic when clip art became a thing. Prior to that, my art consisted of eerily creepy-looking stick figures. On a side note, probably the most artistic thing I have done is sing on stage at the Hooters Hotel and Casino at the first Las Vegas CHART conference where I belted out my very own rendition of I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred. Pretty sure I would have gotten four buzzers on America's Got Talent!” SERVICE EVENT CO-DIRECTOR Ashley Helkenn , Director of Training, Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken “I love to write. I wrote an Instagram story in chapters about a dog I adopted from rescue. It was turned into a picture book that raised money for the rescue!” SERVICE EVENT CO-DIRECTOR
Do you have a formal Purpose statement and a set of Values, but nobody uses them? Are you a company that has never formalized your Purpose and/or Values? Do you have them but want to change them? Most importantly, do you wonder if it’s possible for the work you put into your Purpose and Values to bring you a return on your investment? If you answered yes to any of these questions or are just interested in the topic, this is the webinar for you! John Isbell helped his 60+ year old organization formalize their Purpose and Values, and in doing so, helped to galvanize the company even further and launch a successful IPO a little over a year later.

Learning, Sharing, Growing, Caring…and Dilly Bars! The team at Dairy Queen (DQ) hosted an interactive Regional Training Forum (RTF) focused on new ways to deploy the workforce, enhance training delivery, and rebuild the talent pool. More than 17 hospitality trainers gathered to hear how DQ reconfigured their staffing models to reduce waste and extra steps. The group also explored resources that DQ built with Restaurant Playbooks using structured instructional design, Vyond, and enhanced graphic design.

CHART + Opus Social Hour at FSTEC
shared how they partner with local schools to build passion for careers in the hospitality industry. To further that discussion, Tammy Olson, Director of Global Curriculum & Training at DQ and HMEF Board member, shared how they are promoting career opportunities and the professional skills we all learned as hourly team members. So many of our current prioritization skills are rooted in our past ability to serve or cook during lunch rush!
Minneapolis RTF | 10.20.22
CHART teamed-up with Silver Partner Opus to hold a Social Hour in conjunction with the FSTEC conference on September 19 in Dallas. Opus surprised attendees by giving away free CHART memberships and renewals! We greatly appreciate this support to help drive membership and awareness of CHART.
