Message from the Chairman and the PresidentOrchestration n 1: the arrangement of a musical compositionfor performance by an orchestra2: harmonious organizationMuch like the creation of a beautiful orchestral arrangement, thedevelopment of a future culinaryleader requires the contributionsof many different artists performing in harmony to produce amasterpiece. The Culinary Institute of America is proud to be apart of that process, and we’repleased to celebrate our morethan five and a half decades ofworking in concert with industryto achieve excellence in everyfacet of culinary education.2002–2003 saw a number of initiatives and accomplishmentsthat epitomized how the CIAand the foodservice and hospitality industry make beautifulmusic together. Major projects, such as the development of the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies and the Chuck Williams Flavor Discovery Centerat Greystone and the upcoming groundbreaking ofAnton Plaza in Hyde Park, are made possible largelydue to the generosity of people in our industry.A number of strategic partnerships put us in tunewith other institutions as well. Our alliance withCornell University’s School of Hotel Administrationis creating more opportunities for students. Weworked with Harvard Medical School on a project todemonstrate that food and cooking can be a viablealternative to drugs and surgery for people withhealth issues. We also launched a revolutionary culinary training program for the U.S. Air Force.CIA alumni continued to be the maestros of theindustry. We were particularly excited that 14 of ourgraduates were included in Nation’s RestaurantNews magazine’s “NRN 50,” which celebrated themost accomplished and innovative professionals inculinary research and development.The year saw the outbreak of warabroad and an economic downturn onthe home front, but still the CIA—andthe industry as a whole—persevered.The Annual Campaign rose to the challenge and had another successful year,raising more than 1 million thanks inlarge part to the generosity of our industry friends. Alumni giving reached arecord high, and the Annual Gala honoring Michael Bailey raised more moneythan any other single CIA event ever.Grateful for that ongoing support, thecollege strives to give back to industrythe best way we know how—througheducation. Our degree programs continue to hit all the right notes, sendingtalented new employees into the industry every three weeks. Our innovativeprofessional development programsprovide more chances than ever forworking culinarians to hone their skillsand enhance their knowledge. In conjunction with the building of the RuddCenter, the college launched a full-scale ProfessionalWine Studies Program at our Napa Valley campus.We also introduced the Advanced Culinary Arts Certificate Program, expanded our Baking and PastryArts Certificate Program, created two new customcourses for foodservice managers and operators, andteamed with the American Culinary Federation tocreate a multi-tiered certification program for professional chefs.Likewise, the CIA’s Food & Beverage Institute is center-stage, continually adding new products to its comprehensive list of training materials, including theProchef Recipe Master software program, Foodservice Training Solutions tool kits, and the CookingMethods DVD Series.We’re happy to do our part to serve industry, andthank all of you who work in concert with us—benefactors, Members of the Corporation, and Trustees—to make our great profession even better. With yourcontinued dedication, we will be orchestrating excellence for years to come.NICK VALENTIChairman of the BoardDR. TIM RYAN, C.M.C.President3
