Setting the PACE for the Future of School Nutrition

This education session takes a look at the great things we might forget to say about school nutrition. Because marketing your school meal program is more than ‘telling & selling’, it provides opportunities to shape successful outcomes. The presentation will also dissect no-cost student and community engagement strategies and explore replicable marketing initiatives that raise the profile and performance of K-12 foodservice programs.
Target Audience: All
