SNA’s Public Policy and Legislation Committee (PPL) is preparing to draft the Association’s 2026 Position Paper and needs YOUR input on top advocacy priorities and school meal program challenges.   

On Wednesday, October 1 at 1 p.m. ET, all current SNA members will receive an email from “The School Nutrition Association,” containing a unique link to participate in SNA’s Position Paper survey.  

Please take this opportunity to weigh in on the issues SNA should discuss with Congress and USDA. School nutrition directors/supervisors will receive additional survey questions regarding current program trends, including questions in collaboration with Child Trends as part of the USDA funded Understanding the School Food Workforce Project. 

Every SNA member who completes the SNA Position Paper and Trends survey will be enrolled in a drawing to win one of two FREE registrations to SNA’s  2026 Legislative Action Conference in Washington DC!  Details here.   

This survey is one critical way PPL keeps its finger on the pulse of member concerns and priorities. PPL members also welcome direct member feedback throughout the year, gather input at SNA meetings and stay in close touch with SNA’s state affiliate policy chairs. In addition to contacting PPL and your state policy chair, members may share input directly with SNA via advocacy@schoolnutrition.org.
