Call for Volunteers — Supply Chain Listening Sessions
CSNA and No Kid Hungry are partnering to better understand how school nutrition professionals, industry members, and state agency staff are negotiating the supply chain crisis. We are gathering experts from around the country to:

  • Share their knowledge during hour-long listening sessions
 
For the success of this project, we need an hour of your time and your expertise. If you can join us, complete this short form to provide us some information about you and your availability to participate in listening sessions. Volunteer Today
