HEN PPC AT FNCE Do you have expertise to provide as a dietetics professional working in the fields of public health, food access, sustainability, child nutrition programs, or other HEN focus areas?

Update on Child Nutrition Reathorization (CNR) The Senate's debate has been postponed on child nutrition programs, including WIC, school meals, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, Farm to School and the entirety of nutrition education provided across all programs. The vote could be rescheduled at any time, so please contact your members of Congress now. See below for a link to access the grassroots manager which will take you to a CNR Action Alert. Action Alerts Remain Open Please take a minute to contact your legislator about important bills coming up for discussion.

It takes only a few moments! Please note: There are three separate action alerts, one for each of the legislative issues. It is urgent that members of Congress hear from you. Academy DPG Experts Needed The Academy is considering commenting on a number of proposed regulations, regulatory guidance and information/data collections in the next two months. If you are interested in contributing to the Academy's responses to these regulatory initiatives, please contact Courtney Puidk ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or Paula Martin ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Many of these information collections are seeking strategies and input for improving research and program structure on the listed topics. To read more about the proposed rules, click on the links below. The dates noted are the deadline for DPGs to submit input to the Academy's Regulatory Affairs department. We need to collect comments at least three days prior to each to allow enough time for the comments to be collected and edited for submission by HEN as a DPG.
