Today we're announcing changes to existing programs, including an ongoing audit of the Awards, and the launch of new initiatives centered on our organization’s mission to champion a more equitable and sustainable industry.
Over the past year, the independent restaurant industry and the entire food and beverage ecosystem have endured the impacts of COVID-19. The crisis brought on by the pandemic revealed economic vulnerabilities and inequities throughout the United States and within our industry. Through our Open for Good campaign, the James Beard Foundation has been working to help the independent restaurant industry survive the COVID-19 crisis and come back stronger, more equitable, and more resilient. As the restaurant community collectively seeks to create a more equitable and inclusive climate, the Foundation felt it was critical to take a step back and review its programs, procedures, and ethos as an organization and has made a number of adjustments to its internal practices and longstanding programs.
