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.
