NRAEF Events
Join us and inspire a lifelong passion
The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) is committed to developing the restaurant and foodservice industry's current and future workforce. To this end, each year, the NRAEF hosts a number of outstanding events as we work to enhance the restaurant industry's service to the public through education, community engagement and promotion of career opportunities.
With the support of industry sponsors, we have the opportunity to recognize industry leaders, encourage networking and education and, most importantly, raise funds for our NRAEF Scholarship Program.
From the National ProStart Invitational to the Ted J. Balestreri Leadership Classic, the NRAEF continues to support the growth and success of the restaurant and foodservice industry.
