SNA Advocates Are Empowered, Informed and Excited! 2017-04-05 On Tuesday, April 4th, over 900 school nutrition professionals charged Capitol Hill in support of school meal programs. The effort was part of SNA’s 45th annual Legislative Action Conference (LAC). When asked how they felt about charging the Hill, hopeful, inspired, determined, and proud were just some of the words used! Here’s how to keep all that great energy going: If you took part in one of over 900 meetings with legislators, please make sure to complete a feedback form so SNA can bolster advocacy efforts on your behalf through the rest of the year. Send a thank you note to your legislator to let them know you appreciate their time! Did they ask for more information? Make sure to include it in your note. Stay in touch with helpful information on your district. Participate from home! Share your personal stories about how the 2017 Position Paper asks would make a difference in your school. What could you do with 6 cents for breakfast or time freed up from burdensome administrative requirements? Your words paint a powerful picture. Share them with us. Have you invited your legislators to your school cafeteria? SNA’s Cafeteria Site Visit toolkit provides a step-by-step guideline for the invitation, visit, and follow through.
