Committee Members
Current members of the 2012 Planning Committee.
Timothy Cipriano - Co-Chair
Share Our Strength and being a Chef go hand in hand. This is my third year as Co-Chair of Taste of the Nation New Haven and I couldn't imagine donating my time for anything more important. My passion is feeding children and offering them access to delicious healthy meals with a local flavor. As Executive Director of Food Services for New Haven Public Schools I see firsthand children who are affected by hunger related issues. While the current economy may make you think twice of participating; this is the economy when our children need us the most. Won't you consider sharing your strength with us and joining me at this year's Taste of the Nation New Haven?
Pierrette Silverman - Co-Chair
As a former Board member of the Connecticut Food Bank, I was interested in becoming further engaged in supporting its mission. I love food, a good party and enjoy coordinating events. Aside from this event raising much needed funds for SOS and our local food pantries, I am so taken by the outpouring of support and sense of community that is created by Taste of the Nation. It certainly would not be possible without the amazing restaurants and chefs that create beautiful treats, all the in kind contributions from various entities and of course our volunteers. I look forward to a successful event and to eliminating hunger.
Bob Sullivan - Co-Chair
When I first heard the story of the the 3rd grade student who was wrapping up half of his school lunch so that he could bring the rest home to his younger sibling... who was not going to have dinner that night...I knew I had to be part of Share Our Strength. What an amazing organization! As Director of Operations for Yale Catering I have a real passion for both amazing food and great customer service. Not only is the Taste of the Nation event a wonderful culinary experience, more importantly, it is an opportunity for people to contribute to the most important element in our community; our children. No child should ever go without a meal; think about how great you will feel when you help to put an end to childhood hunger...
