Daher will utilize the resources of her agency to bring awareness to the important programs offered by CRAF including Restaurants Care, providing emergency assistance to restaurant workers who have experienced sudden tragedies and hardships, and ProStart which provides introductory culinary arts training and hospitality career-exploration programs for high school students to give them the best possible start in the professional culinary world.
“We are thrilled that Kristin has joined our board as we recognize the huge value that she brings to our cause with the backing of her Powerhouse PR agency,” said Alycia Harshfield, Executive Director of CRAF. “Along with successfully driving awareness strategies for her clients, Kristin has a deep understanding and appreciation of the restaurant industry.
