Chef Emily Lewis, Nashville State Culinary Instructor, Wins Industry Educator of the Year

The Greater Nashville Hospitality Association sure knows how to stage an event. The annual Stars of the Industry Awards gala at Nissan Stadium brought together professionals from across the region to celebrate excellence, leadership, and service to the industry.

Congratulations to all of the winners, particularly Chef Emily Lewis of the Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts, part of Nashville State's School of Business and Professional Studies, for being named Industry Educator of the Year.

Based exclusively at the college's Southeast campus, the program features a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen and adjacent classrooms that prepare students for success in the hospitality and culinary industries. It is a well-deserved honor for someone who is continuously making a lasting impact on the future of the culinary profession.
