Stephanie Dillard, the new president of the School Nutrition Association, aims to tackle funding challenges and USDA cuts as school nutrition programs prepare for the new academic year. Dillard emphasizes the importance of these programs, noting that for some children, school meals are their only daily meal. “Feeding children and making sure all children have access to healthy meals is something I am passionate about, and this is just a way I can be a voice to the 50,000 members we have that work hard to feed our children,” Dillard says.
