President's Message
Congratulations!
...on belonging to a great group of educated and talented individuals who make up our ILSNA membership.
We are looking at an exciting school year with many questions and challenges, many not yet determined. Most of us will have to make changes in our departments and sometimes change brings resistance. Your comrades at ILSNA are working very hard to offer you additional educational opportunities to help you adapt to the changes with minimal frustration. One of the greatest advantages to being a member of ILSNA is the sharing of ideas and mentoring with others. Our members are here to help one another have the best food service/nutrition department in our schools. We are always ready and willing to help one another — cooks, directors, and industry — because we are all in this together. A group of dedicated volunteers is working very hard to offer you additional educational opportunities so you can meet upcoming changes head on. Knowledge empowers us to make good decisions. Watch your emails, flyers and web site for future educational opportunities!
Remember, change can be good! Some of us are hesitant or reluctant to accept change. Some even challenge it but change is inevitable, whether we like it or not. Change is an opportunity to improve or make better. ILSNA is here to give you the tools and knowledge so you can rise to the challenge and make those changes which will establish you and your school program as extraordinair!
SMILE! Change can be good! And your smile may be the only one someone sees that day! You have a chance to be a positive in others' lives!
