Before now, The University of Texas Elementary School had no kitchen for our regular breakfast and lunch food service, but after nine years we will have a permanent building with both a commercial kitchen AND a demonstration kitchen – to teach our students and parents how to cook nutritious food. We are excited about how far our program has come and now we need to hire a fantastic kitchen manager who incorporates all the principles of nutrition and health that we want for our community. Do you think there is any way that your association might advise us on the best way to promote this position and the link below, perhaps using your networks? https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/hr/jobs/nlogon/120228016160 Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!
