I am truly honored to be serving in the trenches and on the frontlines with you as your 2020-2021 GSNA President. I do believe everything we are experiencing at this moment is a distraction for the greater coming.
The year we had planned for you was powerful, exciting, energetic and memorable! Given these unprecedented times we are experiencing and the many changes of this global public health crisis, many of us to include our association is faced with having to be creative and more tech savvy than ever, of how we have meetings, training and basic communication. With that said, due to social distancing guidelines and venue closures, I am saddened to say our GSNA Leadership “Boot Camp” Training scheduled for June 11-12, 2020 has been canceled. All upcoming scheduled calendar dates for 2020-2021 are tentative now but we will continue to update you as the year progresses. In the meantime, we will also update you on various upcoming web or virtual trainings.
The dynamics of how we may start this year may have changed, but we will still offer you the dynamic year we had planned! I shared with some of you that this was going to be an explosive year! Well by golly, it has started off with a bang! I am hopeful 2020 will prove to be one of the best years yet for the future of school nutrition!
Our School Nutrition Legacy is Georgia Grown! I am proud to be among you! The world is now listening we must use our voices wisely. We need each of you more now than ever in our associations to form a united front to continue advocating for our children and the livelihood of our school nutrition programs. The war on child hunger is exposed. We must grasp hold of this opportunity to tell our stories in an effort to continue building a collective brand as one unit, one voice.
