The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Center to Prevent Childhood Obesity and your colleagues in the field to discuss: childhood obesity research, best practices for addressing childhood obesity, and strategies for using policy and environmental change to reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity.
The center's first round of webinars in 2010 is focused on, “Making Schools the Model for Healthier Environments." Each webinar will be held bi-monthly on Thursdays at 2 p.m. Eastern (1 p.m. Central, 11 a.m. Pacific), and will discuss initiatives currently underway to ensure that schools become the standard for healthy eating and active living.
From preschool through 12th grade, schools can make a significant contribution to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic by enacting policies that promote the availability and consumption of nutritious foods and beverages, and by teaching healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
These webinars will feature researchers, advocates, and policymakers discussing solutions to problems that schools face in providing healthy food and opportunities for physical activity. These sessions will also provide resources to help make schools healthier.

About SNA-Wisconsin
The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is a national, nonprofit professional organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. The Wisconsin Chapter of SNA (SNA-WI) has nearly 1,250 members, over half of which are certified, and another 30 have achieved their SNS Credential (School Nutrition Specialist).
In conjunction with the national office and valuable industry support, SNA-WI has been working to advance the availability, quality and acceptance of school nutrition programs as an integral part of education. The organization is in constant contact with Congressmen, Senators and Representatives to influence important nutrition legislation. Meaningful achievement awards have been created at the state and national level to recognize professionalism in the industry, and to help members offset expenses to attend state-wide and national events.
SNA-WI strives to be the recognized school food service resource for child nutrition information in the State of Wisconsin by providing opportunities for professional growth and development for school food service personnel. This is accomplished by encouraging members to participate in the many education events offered by SNA-WI, regional and local Chapter events, affiliated organizations such as the Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Dairy Council, Hunger Task Force and many others. |
