AHF would like to congratulate AHF past-president, David Reeves, MBA, System Director, Food and Nutrition Services at Lee Health on his remarkable achievement of being awarded the prestigious 2024 Silver Plate Award by the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association (IFMA) for healthcare.

“Since 1954, IFMA has recognized extraordinary operator executives with the IFMA Silver Plate Award. Winners are chosen from a slate of industry nominees by a distinguished jury of trade press editors and previous award winners.”

His active involvement with AHF, frequent participation at the National Conference, and invaluable contributions to the industry’s knowledge base exemplify his commitment and expertise. Dave is beyond deserving of this prestigious award.
