ASSOCIATION NEWS
FROM YOUR president
It is hard to believe that another school year has ended and we are in the full swing of warmer weather. For me, it seemed like the warmer weather took a long time to get here – but once here, it was warm very quickly. I want to keep this note short; as I am sure, you have some sunshine to get to. With the end of the school year, I hope you are able to reflect on this past school year and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Once again, Indiana School Nutrition Professionals handled this year with grace, fortitude, resilience, and creativity. Simply put, YOU are amazing! Thank you for feeding our future with passion, purpose, and excitement. With summer, ISNA does not slow down. The Professional Development team and committees are in full swing to bring amazing opportunities to all members for the next year. The 2022 School Nutrition Industry Summit in June was another success! Keynote speaker, Kim Stroebel provided some real talk and momentum to keep moving us forward. Peer sharing sessions, IDOE updates, and reconnecting with our industry partners ignited some excitement. Take a look at the Upcoming Events on our ISNA web page. Here you will find Director Certificate Program courses are already scheduled in October and December, with more to follow. Our Professional Development team, ISNA Executive Director, and research committee chairs are outstanding and they strive to provide top-notch education for members. I cannot wait to see what is in the works for our Annual Conference in November! It is sure to be exciting. I challenge you to find an outlet that helps you reset, recharge, renew, and get excited for the upcoming year. I hope that during the summer break, you were able to take either a day, week, or month for yourself to recharge, reconnect, and hit that reset button. For the last year, I have been making it a point to meditate daily in order to keep my sanity. Some days it may only be 10 minutes, other days it takes 45 minutes. It is a time for me to slow down but not stand still. We must take care of ourselves, while taking care of others. This summer, I challenge you to find an outlet that helps you reset, recharge, renew, and get excited for the upcoming year.
