About the Mid-Missouri Chapter

Members sit on regulatory and advisory boards holding interests of the hospitality industry in the Mid-Missouri area. Members also regularly visit elected officials in Jefferson City to advocate on behalf of the restaurant industry. The Mid-Missouri chapter works on behalf of members to educate them on changing regulations, resource development and operational issues that affect the restaurant industry’s bottom line.

​The association also works to support the education of the next generation of service-industry professionals. Each year, the Mid-Missouri chapter awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving students seeking a career in the hospitality industry. Members and volunteers also work with area high schools on their ProStart programs, a national career-building program for students interested in the culinary arts and food service management.
