The National Restaurant Association today announced the appointment of Michelle L. Korsmo as its president/CEO and CEO of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, effective May 1, 2022. Korsmo will be responsible for guiding the NRA in its mission to help the restaurant and foodservice community thrive.

The restaurant industry is the nation’s second-largest private sector employer with nearly 1 million foodservice outlets nationwide.

The NRA, founded in 1919, sponsors the industry’s largest event, the National Restaurant Association Show.

A seasoned trade association executive, Korsmo has served as president/CEO of the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) since 2018.
