All of us have had to change just about everything in our departments. From job descriptions and schedules, to menu adjustments, serving styles, and plans and procedures. We have had to embrace challenges we have never faced before. As we finished our 2021 ISNA Annual Conference in Fort Wayne, I felt so grateful that we were able to come together to re-energize our spirits and leave some of the above challenges to another day! Some of us hugged, a lot of us laughed, and almost all of us enjoyed meaningful conversations. It was great for

our members to have the opportunity to network, attend educational sessions, and hear from wonderful keynote speakers. It was a pleasure to co-host with Immediate Past President, Leeanne Koeneman. We received great feedback this year and were so happy to share our themes with you. For those that may have forgotten, last year’s theme was supposed to be “Feeding Our Future.” And what better way to expand on “Feeding Our Future” than with a little “PPE: Passion, Purpose, and Excitement!” Passion. The essential meaning of passion is a strong feeling of enthusiasm for something or about doing something. When I started working in my kids’ school as a cashier, I had no idea just how much passion I would have working in child nutrition. To tell you a little more about me; I have been a part of the Warsaw Community Schools, Food & Nutrition Department since 2008. I started this “job” with part-time intentions of having a little pizza money for Friday nights. Fast forward 13 years over which that “job” ignited a passion to launch a career that I love. Yes, even with all of the supply chain issues, staff shortages, COVID quarantines, P-EBT card challenges, and regulatory hoops to jump through…I still love this job, with a PASSION .

As this year’s ISNA President, it is an honor to share my passion with you. I am truly humbled to follow extraordinary leaders who have been influential in my life and career. I look forward to the networking and lifelong friendships for many years to come. The Indiana School Nutrition Association is here for you. As we continue to navigate uncharted waters, please think of ISNA as a life ring of knowledge, assistance and a shoulder to lean on. As I close out, let me share one of my favorite quotes: “The best surfer out there is having the most fun.” This reminds me that even if you are beginning your school nutrition career and you are already having fun, it is just going to get more fun as you grow. It means that all the “paddling” or navigation is well worth it.
