To recognize the efforts of others to shape and promote policies that promote health or healthy lifestyles, the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior's Advisory Committee on Public Policy sponsors "Health Promotion Policy" awards. These awards will be given to individuals or groups who have significantly contributed to creating and/or implementing policies or policy-based changes that support and positively impact the food and/or physical activity environment. One annual Outstanding Health Promotion Policy Award will be selected from all of the bestowed awards from the year and will be presented at the annual conference.
SNEB
Since the early days of SNEB, there has been support among the membership for the Society to take an active role in educating members about nutrition policy. The membership has supported establishing and maintaining an active public policy program. The resolutions process is one of the mechanisms for members, or groups of members, to bring forth policy positions for discussion and vote by the membership. Resolutions provide a route for members to propose that SNEB adopt a position, take an action, or endorse a policy or principles in a formal manner. Learn more about the resolutions process.

To recognize the excellence of our members' contributions to public health nutrition, four awards will be made by the division.

Journal Club 8: Securing a Stop to the Summer Setback: Policy Considerations in the Future Expansion of the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children
Monday, April 2 | Noon - 1 p.m. Eastern | Register
Speakers: Carolyn Gunther, PhD, The Ohio State University; Laura C. Hopkins, PhD, MSPH, RDN, The Ohio State University & Neal H. Hooker, PhD, The Ohio State University
The Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) has been proposed as a solution to address the problem of child food security during the summer. Initial SEBTC findings from a demonstration project show promise and the federal government has approved substantial funding for its continuation. This presentation will review empirical assessments of SEBTC and Electronic Benefits Transfer research, and present policy considerations in the program's future expansion.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will develop an understanding of the problem of underuse of the USDA Summer Food Service Program and the potential of the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children (SEBTC) program to address summer food insecurity among underserved children.
- Participants will develop an understanding of the results from empirical assessments of the SEBTC demonstration project and pertinent peer-reviewed EBT literature.
- Participants will develop an understanding of the important policy considerations in the future expansion of the SEBTC.
Equipping Health Care Professionals with Nutrition Content
Wednesday, April 4 |1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
Speakers: Martin Kohlmeier, MD, PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill & Thomas Gregory Sherman, PhD, Georgetown University Medical Center
Healthcare professionals are the top trusted and most relied upon source for information on nutrition. Still, research shows that most healthcare professionals, including physicians, receive little to no nutrition training. Nutrition educators have the opportunity to harness the public's trust and reliance on health professionals to increase the impact and reach of nutrition education programs. This webinar will highlight successful nutrition education programs for healthcare professionals, and equip participants with proven strategies to more effectively engage this group with nutrition content.
The session will begin with an overview of recent consumer research that examines the public’s trust in healthcare professionals as a source of nutrition information. Dr. Kohlmeier and Dr. Sherman will discuss the current state of nutrition education in medical school and share best practices for educating healthcare professionals about nutrition topics. They will highlight various channels and ways to reach future doctors, and answer participants' questions.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the current state of nutrition education for physicians and other healthcare professionals.
- Learn from successful programs that engage healthcare professionals with food and nutrition content.
- Highlight partnership opportunities that can increase the impact of nutrition interventions, both individually and in community settings.
Journal Club 9: Beyond the Melting Pot and Salad Bowl Views of Cultural Diversity: Advancing Cultural Diversity Education of Nutrition Educators
Monday, April 9 | Noon - 1 p.m. Eastern | Register
Speaker: Kelebogile Setiloane, PhD, University of Delaware
This presentation describes how the cultural views of cultural diversity have influenced how nutrition educators have been trained in cultural competence and how this training needs to change because of the changing demographics of the US population. It explores how these views are changing in reaction to the changing demographics and health disparities seen in the US today and how the cultural training of nutrition educators has not kept up with these changing views. Suggestions for how this cultural education could be modified include placing a greater emphasis on both the cultural self-awareness of nutrition educators and the sociopolitical historical factors that influence the cultural orientation of nutrition educators and their clients.
Learning Objectives
- Describe how the description of cultural diversity in the US has shifted from being viewed as a 'melting pot' to a 'salad bowl' and how this has affected the cultural education of nutrition educators.
- Identify why it is important for nutrition educators and health professionals to learn about their own cultural and ethnic background and become more self-aware as cultural beings.
- List the core elements in creating cultural education for nutrition educators that is aligned to today's changing U.S. demographics.
Farm Bill Advocacy Day
Friday, April 13 | 2 - 3 p.m. Eastern | Register
With a farm bill on the horizon, now is a critical time for SNEB members to let their members of Congress know about the importance of supporting nutrition education in this legislation.

Join forces with colleagues from The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Society for Nutrition, and the Food Trust for a day on the Hill. Share stories with your elected officials about the impact of these programs for their constituents. Let's show Congress that nutrition education matters and needs to be protected!

Produce for Better Health Foundation
Home is where the waste is. Forty-three percent of food waste occurs at home. It stems from a variety of reasons: we didn't make the recipe we planned, we ate out rather than cooked, or can't think of a way to use it — or repurpose it. Regardless of why, the loss in dollars and impact on the environment add up. Registered dietitians encourage consumption of fruits and vegetables, yet they are some of the most wasted foods. From purchase to cooking, this session will provide ideas to reduce food waste that can be implemented at home and shared with the media, in retail, and with community clients to be part of the solution to this global concern.
