Testimonial

I found my experience in School Nutrition Boot Camp to be the most comprehensive and beneficial training that I’ve attended in the seven+ years that I’ve worked in the channel. The training really helped me to understand the entire process from start to finish, including perspectives from USDA, manufacturers, distributors, operators and students. The operator and student panels were a highlight and the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of our end users was invaluable. Thanks, SNA, for this excellent training!
