Let's kick off the new year by checking off some of those nagging to-dos that have been weighing us down. This class is all about starting the new year off right by spending the day educating ourselves on some of the critical food safety components that need to be taken into account in today's food and beverage industry.

The Gallatin Valley Food and Beverage Community has gone through so much in the last five years that this is an excellent opportunity to come together and enjoy the day talking about where we currently are, where we would like to be, and the roadmap to getting there.

The instructor, Laura Finley is first and foremost a seasoned food and beverage professional similar to many of her students, but she is also a leader in the local food safety community. Her and her husband, Zac Finley have helped over 2,500 individuals in the State of Montana obtain their Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) certifications and they are also taking the next step with many local businesses in creating the necessary Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plans that the current climate necessitates.

This CFPM Training & Exam meets the State of Montana requirement that mandates every retail food establishment has at least one person on staff who has their current CFPM certification. Certifications are recognized nationally and are valid for five years.

We see time and time again that the more staff members who have their CFPM certifications, the better the result. If you are able to send more than one staff member, we highly encourage doing so.

It is so hard in food and beverage to find a tangible way to give back to your employees. This training is the perfect opportunity to invest in your employees while also investing in your establishment. That same appreciation ties directly into better retention rates. It is a win, win for everyone.

And most of all, it is a good time! :)
