The National CACFP Sponsors Association is excited to introduce the newest group of scholarship winners for the 2024 National Child Nutrition Conference, April 22-26, 2024!
As part of our ongoing commitment to increasing educational opportunities to the USDA's child nutrition program community, we're pleased to announce this round of scholarships to deliver access to 20+ sessions.
Recipients will be receiving complimentary registration for the virtual conference option. Attendees will have access to over 20 live sessions via Zoom or can watch them on demand until May 15, 2024, with a potential to earn up to 16.5 CEUs. From gathering all together to hear from motivational speakers at General Session, to hearing policy updates from USDA on CACFP and SFSP, there's a wealth of knowledge awaiting our conference attendees!
Registration is still ongoing for #NCNC24 in Orlando and virtually. Join us for a jam-packed schedule of training, networking and fun!
