The School Nutrition Foundation has been recognized as a Power of Associations Gold Award winner by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) for its successful LEAD to Succeed™ initiative. The awards celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions that associations make to America and the world.
“Congratulations to the School Nutrition Foundation for exemplifying the impact associations have on the industries and professions they represent, and on society at large,” said ASAE President and CEO Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE. “It’s always so incredibly satisfying to see associations going above and beyond their everyday mission to change the world. We’re very proud to spotlight this award-winning initiative.”
LEAD to Succeed™ provides free workforce tools and training modules developed specifically for school nutrition professionals seeking to Learn, Educate, Advance and Develop in the school nutrition field. The initiative was made possible through a $2 million grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food & Nutrition Service and developed with a team from Georgetown University McDonough School of Business. LEAD to Succeed™ addresses workforce development needs in the areas of Personnel Management and Communication, and Marketing and Customer Service.
“The School Nutrition Foundation is honored to be recognized for its efforts to ensure school nutrition professionals have access to the professional development resources needed to grow and improve their programs and fuel America’s students for success,” said SNA/SNF CEO Patricia Montague, FASAE, CAE.
