No Weekly Call Today
Thank you for your participation in our weekly calls over the past few weeks. We hope the sessions provided valuable information during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We will transition to hosting webinars on an as-needed basis. Please keep an eye out for future CNS Updates and webinar announcements.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your program specialist.
It will take the instructors at ICN a few weeks to adjust the training to the new format. Due to this, we must postpone the training - but it will happen later this summer!
Earlier this year we announced that we would be working with the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) to bring free CACFP Meal Pattern and Best Practices training to your region. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to host these in-person sessions.
STARS Credits are available for this training - you must attend the full 7-hour training to receive credit.
