On the way to achieving the American Dream, Siraj Virani passed through war-torn countries; Ben and Virginia Al, survived race riots; Amy Igloi Matsuno (pictured) endured personal tragedies. Careers in the restaurant industry, however, helped them overcome life’s obstacles. In recognition of their spirit and determination, they will receive the American Dream Award as part of the 2009 Faces of Diversity Awards program during the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show in Chicago on May 17.
The NRA and PepsiCo Foodservice founded the program three years ago to celebrate the restaurant industry’s diversity and the ability of its members to overcome obstacles and find success.
Twelve finalists will be honored along with the American Dream Award recipients. In addition, Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald’s Corp. will receive the Inspiration Dream Award, which is given to a company that has exhibited leadership and vision as an advocate of diversity and inclusion.
