In March 2019, ARD researchers completed the following activities:

  • Presented the most recent edition of Competencies, Knowledge, and Skills Needed for SN Managers in the 21st Century at the Texas Association of School Business Officials Annual Conference in San Antonio, TX
  • Facilitated an expert panel of child nutrition professionals as part of an exploratory investigation of the roles, responsibilities, and impact of chefs working in school nutrition programs (SNPs)

In August, ARD will conduct a national survey to determine the training and professional needs of State agency child nutrition professionals that work specifically with SNPs.
