Legislative Action Conference: March 3-5, 2024

The Legislative Action Conference will be held at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. from March 3-5, 2024. SNA National has compiled our annual Position Paper that we will present to our Congressmen, Congresswomen and Senators when we “Charge The Hill” on Tuesday, March 5th. We speak with our Congressional Representatives about our concerns and successes so that we can continue to have the support and funding that our operations need. It is so important for as many Child Nutrition Professionals from Ohio as possible to lobby. Industry and school district personnel are equally important! Our Representatives need to hear from us directly, so please plan to participate in this very important process.

You will be able to reserve a room at the J.W. Marriott after you register.

Note: You must be an SNA member to attend this conference.

We look forward to seeing you at the Legislative Action Conference!
