Board of Directors Appointment
REHOBOTH – The National Restaurant Association’s governance committee has appointed Scott Kammerer to a position on the National Restaurant Association (NRA) board of directors. Kammerer is the president of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware-based SoDel Concepts.
Scott Kammerer
In November, the association’s members voted on the nominees, and the results were announced at the annual membership meeting in December 2021. A member of the Delaware Restaurant Association since 2015, Kammerer is currently the chairman of the state organization’s board.
“Our board and our members pulled their weight during the pandemic,” Kammerer said. “It was a privilege to represent the state’s restaurants during such an unprecedented time.”
Many would credit Kammerer’s guidance. The New Jersey native started as a dishwasher and worked his way up the ranks. In 2020, Nation’s Restaurant News named him to the list of the most influential leaders in the restaurant industry. There are more than 660,000 restaurants in the United States, and just 95 CEOs were selected for the list.
SoDel Concepts will soon have a total of 16 restaurants in coastal Sussex County, Delaware when Ocean View Brewing Company opens in March. The company also has three sports concessions and a wedding-and-events venue.
