Getting Buy-in to Implement Nutrition Standards at Large Institutions and with Food Service Management Companies
Wednesday, May 5, 2021, 2:30 PM – 4:00 PMVirtual
Addressing food service guidelines and nutrition standards in large institutions improves nutrition for employees, visitors, and others (such as people who are incarcerated). Strategies for successful implementation at these larger institutions can serve as model examples for other worksite and community facilities. Featured recipients will describe resources and approaches to engage partners to improve and sustain healthy nutrition options in their food service venues. Speakers will share the challenges and successes experienced working with institutions and food management companies related to organizational policy and food service contracts. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet in small, interactive groups.
