National CACFP Anuual Conference
TSA's conference meets ongoing educational needs of large and small sponsors. Workshops and general sessions focus on important issues for directors, office personnel, nutrition staff and field staff. The conference offers new information and personal interactive support for sponsors.

Quarterly Newsletter
TSA's quarterly newsletter, the Connection, and Short Notes (brief issues that supplement the newsletter on an as-needed basis) help you provide quality service to providers, and are useful tools for managing CACFP sponsorships. Timely information alerts you to proposed program changes that could affect your sponsorship.

Coordination with USDA
The Sponsors Association (TSA) continually monitors the progress of legislation considered by the U.S. Congress that affects child nutrition programs. TSA works closely with USDA officials in Washington, Regional USDA offices and State Agencies to keep you informed about changes that might affect you. We assist you through ongoing communication and education so you can respond to pending administrative changes effectively and pro-actively.

Resource Library 
TSA's resource library offers you an opportunity to share and receive resource materials on many topics including: nutrition education, workshop training and home visits, enabling you to utilize the ideas of other sponsors and share your expertise.

State Contact Network
We are proud of the many avenues we use to keep our members informed and up-to-date on what is happening with CACFP.  When we need to get something out to our members immediately, our State Contract network has been very effective.  One person in each state is designated the State Contact.  That person responds and acts quickly by phone, fax, or e-mail to disseminate information to members in their state.

National CACFP Week
National recognition is critical to the continued viability of the food program. TSA spearheads National CACFP Week, held the third full week in March each year. TSA members enjoy discounts on the materials developed for use during this important national event.

Web Site
Our web site contains general information for all internet users on issues affecting the Food Program, such as legislative updates. For TSA members, there are additional site resources available that range from articles for the member's newsletter to suggestions for administration and operations.
