SNEB regularly participates in public policy activities as they relate to the mission and vision of the Society. By being actively involved in the conversation, SNEB can make change happen! SNEB works with candidates and members of Congress to advance SNEB's public policy priorities and raise SNEB's profile. SNEB and the Advisory Committee on Public Policy (ACPP) represent members' interests and positions nutrition educators to be the preferred providers of food, nutrition and health services. This area of the website includes positions, policy statements and letters, in addition to legislative and regulatory updates and links to Federal nutrition-related web sites.
SNEB welcomes opportunities to collaborate with like-minded organizations by signing onto letters aligning with our mission. If your organization seeks support from SNEB's Advisory Committee on Public Policy, please complete this short form to request consideration.
