SDA Founder Harris Ader

 When I created the Senior Dining Association over 4 years ago, I saw an opportunity to establish a community where none existed.

I saw needs within the industry—for education, resources, and advocacy—and the SDA stepped in. We have come a long way, but there’s much yet to be done. I invite you to invest in yourself and your people and join us. Together we can take senior dining to new a level of excellence and give it the prominence it deserves.

In past years, many have viewed senior dining as part of the healthcare world rather than the hospitality world. The SDA’s focus has been on emphasizing the place of senior dining within the larger hospitality industry. We will continue to create educational events focusing on all aspects of senior dining and hospitality.
 

We also will strive to continue strengthening professionalism and creating informational resources within senior dining. 

We will continue the SDA programs that have worked so well in the past, and we’ll continue to offer education for executive directors, dining directors, chefs, dietitians, dining executives, and other industry professionals. As always, you will be able to choose trainings that best fit your needs, whether they be webinars and chats you can join from your home or office or intensive live trainings that allow you to focus all your attention on picking up new skills and information.

So please bring yourself and your people into the SDA community. You’ll never have a better opportunity to support your own business and participate in the future of senior dining around the country.

Thank you for your support,

Harris Ader
