The Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance (MFHA), which recognizes Black/African American, Asian Pacific American, and Hispanic/Latino leaders every year through its Multicultural Advertising Tribute Series, announced its first release for 2013: the 5th Annual Tribute to Black Leadership in Hospitality.
The Tribute featured nine Black/African American women executives, including Teresa Sebastian, senior VP, general counsel and secretary of Darden Restaurants. Additionally, the thirty Black/African American leaders, included a number of CEOs: Harvey Brownlee of Bob Evans Restaurants, Walter Charles of Kellogg Company, Steve Davis of Bob Evans Farms, Rick Frazier of The Coca-Cola Company, Phillip Holloman of Cintas Corporation, Phyllis James of MGM Resorts International, Shannon Johnson of KFC, Roger McClendon of Yum!
