TERRIFIC, Inc.'s 2021 Caring Conference

“The Caring Continues.”

During these unparalleled times, caring for others, our communities, and ourselves has posed unique challenges. During these unprecedented times, caregivers are navigating unsettled waters of COVID-19, health disparities, racial inequalities, violence, trauma, and financial uncertainty. As we emerge from the COVID 19 cocoon, it is critical that we identify, address, and learn strategies to successfully move forward. The purpose of this conference is to restore, rejuvenate, equip, inform, and empower all of us as the caring continues. Through an innovative virtual platform, the conference topics will focus on self-care, coping with grief and loss, current updates on health information, dealing with trauma and violence, anticipating the future, and planning for our families.

One of his many duties there was to provide nourishing meals to the children there, this was the start of his passion to cook and to teach. In 1997 by chance, Mr. Crawford was hired by the Motion Picture Association of America as a chef in training. After working at MPAA for 8 years Chef Mark would move to San Francisco, Ca. to attend Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and finish top of his class in 2008. Later that year Chef Mark was awarded an internship at Google with the culinary team, in short order, he moved up through the ranks from chef to sous chef and interim executive chef. It was at this point that a chance encounter over a holiday meal would bring his talents to Iraq to cook for our soldiers. Starting off as a Sous chef, chef Mark rose quickly to a position that would have him oversee food operations for an entire section of Iraq that would include over 38 dining facilities, scores of foodservice supervisors, and thousands of chefs. Upon returning to Washington DC he would take the position of Culinary Arts Teacher at Ballou Senior High School in, SE Washington DC for one year before getting the call to head to Afghanistan to cook for high-ranking officials in the DEA in Kabul, Afghanistan, Abu Dhabi & Dubai.
