Celebrating National CDM, CFPP Day of the Year

National CDM, CFPP Day of the Year is held on November 28 and is a celebration of the impact that Certified Dietary Managers, Certified Food Protection Professionals have made in the foodservice management profession.

Submit Chapter Account Closing Statements/Documents by September 30 - PAST DUE

All chapters have an active Crowded account at this time. If you have not done so already, you will need to transfer your previous account(s) balance to the Crowded account as soon as possible. To transfer your previous account balance into the Crowded account, please click here to follow the instructions.

Following the transfer or if you have done so already, all chapters will need to provide account closure documents. Depending on your bank, you may have been provided with a closing statement that shows the transfers of funds and the zero balance for each account. You may have also been provided with documentation stating the account(s) has been closed. If you have these documents, please send them to finance@ANFPonline.org as soon as possible.

For those chapters that have not yet closed the account or have not been provided with this documentation, we ask that you please request this from your bank. The closing statement and document should include:

  • The final balance prior to transferring the funds and the zero balance
  • Confirmation the account has been closed

Chapters will need to submit this documentation no later than Monday, September 30. Should chapters not submit these documents, the second rebate installment (January 2025) will be withheld. 

PAC Donations – New Way to Donate!

ANFP PAC is now taking donations via the new online platform. Members of ANFP will need to click on the following page and use the donate button or ANFP can provide a QR code for your chapter meetings. 

The online form will collect all the required information needed for FEC reporting as donation forms are no longer needed. This will eliminate the responsibility of chapter volunteers from collecting forms, cash and checks, and mailing them to us.  

The updated PAC donation policy can be found here.
