SDA Member Chat with Chef Eric Nooe

Complimentary SDA Member Chat

Building a Dining Culture Across Four Communities

How do you take successful ideas from one community and turn them into a stronger organization-wide dining culture?

Join Harris Ader for a live conversation with Chef Eric Nooe, Corporate Executive Chef at ThriveMore and a 2026 Corporate Dining Executive of the Year. With more than 20 years of hospitality experience, Eric is known for combining culinary creativity, resident engagement and strong operational leadership.

After transforming the dining culture at Brookridge, Eric was promoted to lead menu development, team training, operational consistency and dining innovation across all four ThriveMore communities.

Eric will discuss opening new dining venues, implementing an organization-wide point-of-sale system, strengthening culinary standards and turning resident feedback into meaningful improvements. He will also share how he mentors culinary teams, balances consistency with local creativity and improves financial performance without sacrificing quality.
