A message from SNA of Ohio President, Ashley Morena

Dear SNA Ohio Members,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve you as the President of the School Nutrition Association (SNA) Ohio. I have been the Nutrition Services Director for Canton Local Schools since 2016 and have served on the Chapter 76 and SAND boards in various roles. I can’t express how much being involved with SNA has not only helped me grow in my profession, but also the impact it has had on my programs. If you ever have questions about serving on the board or how to get involved, reach out to me anytime. I would be happy to talk with you about it.
