FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Godwin-Charles Ogbeide, associate professor of hospitality in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences at the University of Arkansas, has been elected to the position of director of membership for the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education for 2014-15.
Founded in 1946, the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education is the global advocate of hospitality and tourism education for schools, colleges and universities offering programs in hotel and restaurant management, food-service management and culinary arts. The nonprofit professional association provides programs and services to continually improve the quality of education, research, service and business operations in the hospitality and tourism industry.

Their case, titled “Leadership and Management in a Family Business Setting,” focused on issues related to succession planning, decision-making and leadership in an independent multi-unit restaurant setting.
