260 Immanuel leaders from across Nebraska and Iowa came together for the annual Leadership Summit. This year's focus was centered around looking inward on unconscious biases and their impact on employees, residents, participants, and the organization as a whole.
"Immanuel has a history of recognizing the importance of developing leaders. Our leaders must be equipped with the tools to bring out their best. Great managers allow us to hire, retain, and be in the best position to fulfill our mission of Christ-Centered Service to Seniors, Each Other, and the Community." - Cecil Hicks, Immanuel Director of Talent, Development, & Culter Our Leader First cohort, made up of Immanuel managers across Nebraska and Iowa, had an in-person full-day workshop at Pacific Springs.
On Friday, February 10th, the first-ever Immanuel Culinary Cup took place at the Sysco Commercial Kitchen in Lincoln, NE. 14 Immanuel chefs from across all of our markets were paired up in teams of two and tasked with creating a crab cake appetizer and reserve-level entrée of their choosing. Over the course of the day, the chefs cooked different variations of the crab cake appetizer, as well as shrimp, steak, pastrami-wrapped salmon, chicken parmesan, gnocchi, and even crème Brule. Each team’s plate was served before our panel of judges, including Alan J, Eric Gurley, Emily Watts, Metro Community College’s Culinary Outreach Specialist Peter Walsh, Region Manager of HCIS-MBS Jeff Heedum, and resident judge from Arboretum Village Christina Ludewig. After tabulating our judging scores, Kaz Yezdi and Bryan Hunter were recognized as the top chefs. They each received Immanuel Culinary Cup trophies that they proudly took back to Deerfield and Newport House!
