We are so excited to announce the 2024 Annual State Conference (ASC).  This year’s conference will be held at the beautiful Phoenix Convention Center (South Building) – Phoenix, Arizona. The ASC planning committee has planned a spectacular event for every level of child nutrition.  So, if you are a director, supervisor, manager, front-line team member, or central office/warehouse there will be some wonderful education classes and information geared specifically for you.  Also, we will be presenting an education track in Spanish for those more comfortable learning in that language.

We are a state affiliate to the School Nutrition Association (SNA), which represents over 55,000 individuals who have made a commitment to child nutrition.
