Executive Chef Robert Harrison, owner of Chef A GoGo
Susan Reynhout – Publicity Chairman
Executive Chef Robert “Bob” Harrison, owner of Chef A GoGo, will share ideas on planning a holiday party. He will pass on tips of making it easy and affordable and setting the right mood for the occasion. This Chandler resident is a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy.
On the heels of being laid off from his job as a corporate chef within the Motorola Corporation in 2007, Chef a GoGo was born. The initial idea was to offer a personal chef service. The service quickly became small dinner parties and weddings and grew into catering large events and corporate functions. Bob has celebrated a 10-year anniversary and expanding quickly. As a successful culinary professional who loves his job, he understands the importance of listening to your client and understanding what they are asking for. Bob’s highly-interactive and fun presentation will give you great inspiration.
“Confessions of a Type-A Woman.” It sounds interesting, doesn’t it? You will want to hear this vivacious non-profit executive as she explains how a conversation with a perfect stranger changed her life. Gini Larsen works full time at a non-profit agency. She comes to us from Gilbert, Arizona, where she enjoys following the progress of her two young adult daughters. Gini’s story is a compelling one about climbing the corporate ladder of success and being jolted back to reality through a question by a complete stranger.
