Presenting Your Program Realities to School Administrators and Boards

Now more than ever, it’s vital that school administrators and school board members clearly understand the realities of operating your school foodservice program. During this session ProTeam will share a host of customizable slides to help you share your story. They include milestones and points of pride, national trends, staffing implications, key district metrics, affirmations, recommendations, and challenges. Attendees will learn tricks of the trade on how to present yourself, your team, and your program in the best light – and how to handle those pesky nerves, too!

Hot Topics in School Nutrition

As the past 3 years have shown, it seems like there is no challenge school nutrition professionals cannot conquer. Current emerging hot topics are staffing challenges, inflation, decreased participation rates, unpaid meal debt, changing regs, and ongoing supply chain issues. We know that talking through these issues with a community of dedicated professionals, is a proactive way to remain solutions oriented. Join us for a MN focused facilitated conversation and built on the Hot Topics session held at SNA's School Nutrition Industry Conference held in January 2023.
