Share Your Expertise

The Washington School Nutrition Association invites you to submit a proposal to present at our Fall Virtual Workshop. This year we are looking ahead — to technology, menus, policies, and people that will shape school nutrition in the years to come.

We are seeking dynamic, practical, and forward-thinking sessions that give our members ideas they can bring back to their districts. Whether you are a director, an industry partner, a chef, a researcher, or a frontline champion, we want to hear from you.

Sessions will be delivered virtually and count toward USDA Professional Standards continuing education hours for attendees.
