At the National Restaurant Association, she is leading the organization’s mission to help its members “build customer loyalty, rewarding careers and financial success” and “lead America’s restaurant industry into a new era of prosperity, prominence and participation, enhancing the quality of life for all we serve”.[4] She also serves as the CEO of the National Restaurant Association’s Educational Foundation.[5]
Before joining the National Restaurant Association, Sweeney was the president and CEO of AARP Services,[6] the wholly owned taxable subsidiary of AARP, where she was responsible for the launch of AARP Financial,[7] which offers financial planning services and products. She also more than quadrupled revenues for the organization that were used to support AARP’s mission.
