In Your Own Words: 2022 Conference In Review
April 29, 2022
Our priority in producing the National Child Nutrition Conference is premium programming for all our providers, sponsors and state agencies who attend. Your time is valuable, and we're honored you spend it with us. To that end, we seek feedback for every session, at the end of the conference, and even on social media. Here's what you had to say this year:

| What big takeaways or “a-ha” moments did you have during this morning’s sessions? Here are some of mine: engage with volunteers; always consider the full scope of a child’s well being; and the most impact occurs when you meet providers & families where they are. Kayla Overbay |
