"I have truly appreciated all the support ICA has offered through the roundtable discussions.  The pandemic has been sad and scary, but the sense of security I gleaned from the solidarity of the catering community gave me hope, strength, and inspiration.  Thank you for organizing, and special thanks to Jason Sutton for leading the conversations and working hard to include all participants.  Keep up the good work."
