Throughout the year the SNA of Ohio offers additional seminars and networking opportunities to benefit all who work in the field of child nutrition.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Annual Conference offers specialized training, an array of educational sessions, attendance to the annual exhibit show and networking opportunities. The event is always held the second full week in June.

INDUSTRY SEMINAR
The SNA of Ohio Industry Seminar is a networking and educational opportunity that places an emphasis on our industry partners. Industry members set up exhibits to share their products with the foodservice directors and staff of both SNA of Ohio and OASBO-Child Nutrition. This event features an evening reception and exhibit time throughout the conference sessions on the following day.

FALL FOCUS WORKSHOPS
These workshops are a one-day event held strategically in different parts of Ohio. These seminars offer attendees the opportunity to hear one or two educational session(s) as well as a mini-exhibit presentation, with the event wrapping up with a dinner. These workshops try to travel around the state to ensure that all SNA of Ohio members have the opportunity to attend.

AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The SNA of Ohio puts great emphasis on honoring those individuals that are excelling in their education and in their profession, and in doing so, holds a prestigious awards ceremony at its annual conference. Each year the association provides over $2,000 in scholarships.

PUBLICATIONS
The SNA of Ohio website and Newsette Newsletter are two methods that the association communicates with its membership. The Newsette is published three times per year. Issues include articles from the President, updates on the various chapters and regions, photos from happenings around the state, registrations and surveys for upcoming events and news from the office. The website is a communication tool used for the most up to date information on the foodservice industry. In addition, the SNA of Ohio sends up-to-the-minute news to its members via a listserve.

In addition to these specialized tools and services, the SNA of Ohio is considered a leader in the voice of child nutrition throughout Ohio. This includes being active with other nutrition-based organizations concerning legislative issues at the state and local levels.
