OXFORD, MISS. – The National Food Service Management Institute (NFSMI) will host a celebration and reception for their 25th anniversary in their building on The University of Mississippi (UM) campus Wednesday, Oct. 8 from 2-5 p.m.
“Exciting things are happening here as we continue to make progress and add to the great and successful history of the Institute,” said Elizabeth Halford, Marketing Specialist and Assistant to the Executive Director at NFSMI.
NFSMI was established by the United States Congress in 1989 and was brought to The University of Mississippi in 1991. The Institute’s mission is to provide information and services that promote the continuous improvement of child nutrition programs.
“Our national recognition and the awareness of our fabulous free resources have both increased a great deal during my time here. Our staff has grown in order to keep up with the increased demand,” Halford said.
During the event Katie Wilson, Executive Director of NFSMI, will welcome the guests and Chancellor Dan Jones of UM will address the group. Afterward, Dorothy Caldwell, past president of the American School Food Service Association (ASFSA), will give a brief presentation on the history of NFSMI.
