SNEB Advocacy Resources
SNEB regularly participates in government relations in which they relate to the mission and vision of the Society. By being actively involved in the conversation, SNEB can make change happen! SNEB works with candidates and members of Congress to advance SNEB’s public policy priorities and raise SNEB’s profile. SNEB and the Advisory Committee on Public Policy (ACPP) represents members’ interests and positions them to be the preferred providers of food, nutrition and health services. This area includes positions, policy statements and letters, in addition to legislative and regulatory updates and links to Federal nutrition-related web sites.
