Testimonial

National Dairy Council has been a SNA Patron Member for decades. Personally, I find a lot of value in the Patron Program with the benefits being far-reaching within our organization—especially the membership benefits allowing access to Association research, School Nutrition magazine and meeting registration benefits and discounts. This keeps us informed on the current school nutrition environment and how we can best support schools.
