Board Member (Volunteer Position)
About the Re-Seasoning Coalition
The Re-Seasoning Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the representation and advancement of Black Canadians across all levels of the foodservice industry, through research, programming, and community engagement.
For over five years, we have supported a growing network of national foodservice organizations, including chain restaurants, suppliers, and the businesses in between, helping them become best-in-class companies of the future. We aim to continually ”reseason” the industry to ensure everyone in it has an opportunity to reach their full potential.
Our work is guided by four core values:
Community – building belonging and amplifying the lived experiences of those in the industry;
Equity – developing programs grounded in fairness and continuous learning; Innovation – designing people-first, future-forward approaches to anti-racism solutions; and
Expertise – leading with strategies informed by research, expert opinion, and personal perspectives.
