about sna

The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is a national, nonprofit professional organization representing more than 50,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. Recognized as the authority on school nutrition, SNA has been advancing the availability, quality and acceptance of school nutrition programs as an integral part of education since 1946.

Each year, SNA asks for submissions for sessions that we will be offering during our School Nutrition Industry Conference in January 2025.

Due to the large number of sessions submitted, we need SNA members’ help in reviewing and scoring the submissions so we can select the sessions by mid October.    

SNA needs 50 member volunteers to review these submissions. 

  • Estimated time required to review the submitted sessions is 2 or 3 hours total between September 23-October 9. 
  • Each volunteer will be assigned around 10 submissions to review. 
  • Volunteers will review and score the session submissions in Submittable, an online application platform. 

Please sign up for this volunteer opportunity by Wednesday, September 18.

Each year, state associations are required to submit their annual plans of action which outline the initiative(s) the state association will undertake related to the Areas of Focus of the SNA Strategic Plan

This form must be completed and submitted by January 1, 2023. This form informs SNA of the state's activities and is a required submission for the State President to be eligible for the President’s Award Service later this year.

If you are interested in holding trainings please provide the requested information so we can know how to best help you carry them out. Please submit training requests at least 8 weeks in advance to allow SNF enough time to match you with a trainer.
