Get to Know Lynn

What are you most excited about this year’s ANC?

The educational sessions and learning from our colleagues. My brain is always ready to explode with ideas at the end of conferences. Someone once gave me the advice of making a list of all the ideas, identify 2-3 that I’m most excited about or think would be most valuable, and focus on those. When those 2-3 ideas have been accomplished, go back to the list and pick 2-3 more. My brain is thankful for that person who shared that advice.

And I think it goes without saying, I’m excited about being together again. Zoom and Teams meetings have been valuable tools to help keep us connected during the pandemic, but nothing beats being able to feel the positive energy that all our school lunch heroes bring to a room.

What is the most important tip you would like attendees to take away from your session?

Relationships are key!

ANC’s theme this year is “Powered by Imagination.” What do you do to keep your creative juices flowing or to feed your imagination?

I drive my car. I have no idea why my brain works the way it does, but some of the best and most creative ideas and solutions that I’ve had have come to me while I was driving.
