AHF was formed through the consolidation of the American Society for Healthcare Food Service Administrators (ASHFSA) and the National Society for Healthcare Foodservice Management (HFM).

“Having participated thoroughly for years with both ASHFSA and HFM, I am confident that the combined strengths, talents and resources of these great organizations will create a united force that not only provides limitless opportunities and streamlined efficiencies for self-operators, but also for industry business partners,” says Marty Rothschild, vice president of sales/marketing for Aladdin Temp-Rite, who will chair the board.

“We recognize the value of having our business associates play an integral role in our new association,” adds AHF President Kris Schroeder, administrative director for support services at Swedish Medical Center. “We are thrilled to have assembled such a dynamic team for our IAB.”
