If you’re in the Boston area, I hope you’ll join me at Harvard’s Sever Hall on Wednesday, June 10th for an exciting all-day conference devoted to school food.
Entitled “Healthy Food Fuels Hungry Minds: Serving Change in Public School Food,” the conference is cosponsored by Let’s Talk About Food, the Massachusetts State Office of Nutrition and Health, the Harvard Food Law & Policy Clinic and the Harvard University Dining Services’ Food Literacy Project. Speakers will include:
- Chef Ann Cooper of the Chef Ann Foundation;
- Kirsten Saenz Tobey, Founder and Chief Impact Officer, Revolution Foods;
- Curt Ellis, Founder, FoodCorps;
- Sally Sampson, Founder and President, ChopChop;
- John Turenne, FCSI, Founder and President, Sustainable Food Systems;
- school food professionals;
- experts in public health, childhood hunger and child nutrition; and many more.
I’ll be participating in an afternoon panel which will address how parents can more effectively engage with their school nutrition departments.
Tickets are only $35 for the all-day conference and may be purchased here. I hope to see many of you there! 🙂

Thank you, Bettina! I’m so happy that you found your calling and have run with it! (I know, you’ve been doing this a long time!) but, I really do just appreciate you! Have a great time in Boston and bring back all the good (and the bad) parts! Hope to see you soon!
