Mala Parker

Mala leads the planning, coordination, and implementation of IFDA’s portfolio of federal policy and advocacy work, grassroots activity, and political engagement. She is also responsible for driving strategies that increase industry awareness, support IFDA’s business goals, and expand member engagement across all channels. She loves dining out and connecting over a meal. Promoting the growth and success of the industry that makes those meals possible means more people can enjoy those occasions, boosting local economies and strengthening communities.
