SNA leadership and staff are already busy planning the 2013 “School Nutrition Event of the Year,” scheduled for July 14-17, 2013. A key component of that preparation is the development of educational offerings that showcase nutritional integrity as the core component, resulting in the highest-quality training and education sessions available for this profession.

We invite you to share your expertise and experience by submitting a presentation for consideration in the four key areas of the Association’s Keys to Excellence and Certification programs:
This premier professional conference is your best chance to not only instruct and inform, but also to inspire operators working in the K-12 segment.
