Committees & Councils
SNA Committees and Councils are made up of appointed SNA members from around the country. They work to further the mission of SNA in alignment with the Strategic Plan. Each spring, the SNA Board of Directors’ President-elect makes their appointments to the open positions on the SNA committees and councils from the individuals who filled out a Volunteer Interest Form. All individuals who fill out this form will be informed either way if they were selected by late spring/early summer. All committees and councils currently meet virtually several times a year and each position serves a two year term, unless deemed otherwise, beginning on August 1.

Subject Matter Experts
SNA's Professional Development department is looking to diversify our pool of subject matter experts (SME) and trainers with depth of knowledge and expertise on the topics critical to the field of school nutrition. We consider a SME to be someone who would feel comfortable leading a training, speaking on a webinar, writing an article, creating training content, and more.
