Legacy Partners

Since our founding in 1996, the Research Chefs Association has been fortunate to receive support from some of the most influential companies in our industry. In celebration of RCA’s 25th anniversary — and in response to the challenges brought on by the global pandemic — these companies stepped up as Legacy Partners, including support through a matching program for member contributions.
