2025 SNAAZ Annual
State Conference
Begins In
Keynote Speaker
FRIDAY – NOV 08, 2025
Our speaker is nationally recognized as a forward-thinking leader, engaging presenter, informed trainer and certified Life Coach. JoAnne Robinett, SNS, holds a master’s degree in administration and is SNA credentialed as a School Nutrition Specialist. An in-demand presenter, she frequently keynotes district trainings, and state and national conferences. Her articles have been featured in many state association publications and in School Nutrition, SNA’s flagship publication.
After 35+ years she is still actively involved in the field, currently serving in an advisor role to the School Nutrition Foundation. She is the administrator for the Facebook group “School Nutrition Professionals” with over 9,000 members. About 20 years ago she started her own business, America’s Meal, to deliver training and inspiration to schools, associations, and businesses in this field. She has found success in this “encore” career – accepting about 50 training, speaking or consulting assignments annually since retiring as the Director of School Nutrition at Beavercreek Schools in Ohio in 2010.
JoAnne lives in Jamestown, Ohio. She loves to travel. She winters on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida and travels abroad when she can. She is always happy to share her humor, enthusiasm and passion with others who work tirelessly to keep our students fed.

Annual State Conference
We are so excited to announce the 2025 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.
