Indiana: Leading Age


Corporate Executive Chef Robert Campbell, Regional Executive Chef Camden Cox, Registered Dietitian Jamie Ripperger, RDO Patrick McMahon and Director of Business Development Mike McFall represented Morrison Community Living at the Leading Age Conference in Indianapolis. We set up a Teaching Kitchen and made No Bake Energy Bites. 



We set up twelve stations and asked people to participate in making their own energy bites, the response was astounding. Everyone loved it, from the concept to the engagement of everyone involved, it was a huge success. We also had jars with pre measured ingredients so they could take it and make them at home. 


I think we really set the bar high for future trade shows. I think we accomplished exactly what we wanted by doing the Teaching Kitchen. It was a great idea that was executed very well. Thank all off you for your hard work.
