It's back to school time again and the School Nutrition Association (SNA) offers webinars that you need! Don't miss out on the first webinar of the school year.

The webinar also includes a walkthrough of the recently updated SNA Cafeteria Site Visit Toolkit - your guidebook providing step-by-step instructions of the invitation and hosting process. Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU, or 1 CPEU for RDs/DTRs. Registration for the 2:00 pm (ET) September 6 webinar opens in August. Visit
