“Rod was a decades-long SHFM member and actively involved in the Society, serving on numerous Conference Planning Committees, and our Industry Advisory Board, where he was actively involved in our Hunger Games. Rod was more than an industry veteran; he was a friend to all. He willingly gave of his time and considerable industry knowledge to all he encountered,” the organization said in a statement.
