In this session we will look at diverse types of “vendors” that serve K-12 Child Nutrition Programs. We will explore how each is uniquely related yet functions autonomously to facilitate the supply chain and learn who to call when there is a kink in that chain! We will look at 4 basic types of representatives, their responsibilities, and the value each one provides. We will also advice K12 school nutrition operators on best practices to navigating relationships with these pivotal assets to the school nutrition network.
