 Right before the annual conference, SNEB Past President Deb Palmer-Keenan contacted the office about a box of photos she had that needed to be scanned. Time to work on the project never materialized so she passed the box along. Very few of the 300 prints and slides were identified. We've posted the images on a private webpage which you can join and comment. Any help in determining where these pictures fit in SNEB's history is much appreciated.

In January 2016, JJU requested for SNEB Past President Mary Murimi, PhD, RD to organize a nutrition conference for them. Mary agreed and invited two members of SNEB to speak at the conference. It was at that conference that JJU requested to partner with SNEB in a way that allows them to send members to the conference or request speakers through SNEB during their regional conference. JJU is a young University but growing in research and scholarliness. They are strategically located in Ethiopia but the residents are of Somalia origin. SNEB is excited to partner with the University, with Mary saying she has found the administration of JJU to be "very progressive and a delight to work with." View the Letter of Intent.

SNEB Journal Club 5: Teacher Perceptions of Multilevel Policies and the Influence on Nutrition Education in Preschools
Monday, Oct. 30 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speakers: Virginia C. Stage, PhD, RD, LDN and Amanda D. Peterson, RD, East Carolina University
Webinar based on this JNEB article
Interrelated themes were condensed into three broad categories, and a substantive-level model emerged to explain how policy-related factors (i.e. actual policies vs. policy perceptions) influenced nutrition education (e.g. frequency, strategies) and child-related outcomes (i.e. learning outcomes, exposure). Multilevel policies and teachers’ perceptions of those policies directly and indirectly affect the quality and frequency of nutrition education. For instance, teachers described sanitation policies that limited or restricted the use of food-based activities (e.g. taste testing, cooking), while policies regarding hygiene (e.g. hand washing) and regulatory schedules created time constraints in the classroom. Findings suggest that teachers perceive their ability to provide quality nutrition education in the classroom is most affected by policies at the state and center-level.
Learning Objectives:
- Review past and current federal food and nutrition related policies (i.e. Child and Adult Care Food Program, Head Start Performance Standards) and their potential impact on nutrition education in the preschool setting.
- Discuss methods and results of a qualitative examination of teacher perceptions of multi-level policies in NC-based Head Start preschools.
- Describe action areas nutrition educators can take to improve food and nutrition related policy in the Head Start environment.
SNEB Journal Club 6: NEEDs for Tots: A Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding Focused Early Childhood Education Curriculum
Monday, Nov. 6 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speaker: Elizabeth H. Ruder, PhD, MPH, RD, Rochester Institute of Technology
NEEDs for Tots: A Teacher-Ready and Parent-Friendly Curriculum Focuses on Principles of the Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding
Webinar based on this JNEB article
Authoritative parental feeding behavior is defined by parent leadership with feeding balanced by child autonomy with eating. This feeding style is associated with more healthful child eating behaviors and child weight status. Among young children, controlling, restrictive, and indulgent feeding practices are positively associated with child weight status. The Satter Division of Responsibility in feeding (sDOR) is one approach to support feeding relationships congruent with healthy growth and development.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the NEEDs for Tots early childhood education curriculum.
- Describe the Satter Division of Responsibility (sDOR) in Feeding.
- Discuss the sDOR.2-6y as an instrument to evaluate caregiver adherence to the sDOR in Feeding.
SNEB Journal Club 7: Bringing Produce to the People: Implementing a Social Marketing Food Access Intervention
Monday, Nov. 13 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speakers: A. Susana Ramirez, PhD, MPH, University of California, Merced; L. Karina Díaz Rios, PhD, RD, University of California; and Zulema Valdez, PhD, University of California, Merced
Bringing Produce to the People: Implementing a Social Marketing Food Access Intervention in Rural Food Deserts
Webinar based on this JNEB article
This study describes and evaluates the process of implementing a social marketing food access intervention for food desert communities in rural California. A case study approach used mixed-methods data from nationwide market comparisons, environmental assessment, and community informants. Lessons learned demonstrate room for improvement in implementing such strategies and underscore the importance of involving community in decision making; the strategic importance of operational decisions relating to intervention design, site and product selection, and distribution models; and the need to reconsider the problem of access in rural areas.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the social marketing principles for the design and implementation of food access interventions.
- Describe a mixed method case study approach used to evaluate the process of implementation of a social marketing intervention.
- Identify challenges and opportunities to improve sustainability and success of food access interventions in rural settings.
Reaching Low-Income Audiences Using Innovative Social Marketing Techniques for Nutrition Education
Tuesday, Nov. 14 | 2-3 p.m. EDT | Register
Speakers: Austin H. Childers, BA; Edda Cotto-Rivera, MPH CHES; and Jung Sun Lee, PhD RDN
Webinar sponsored by ASNNA in partnership with the SNEB Communications Division
The web presents an ever growing opportunity to provide cost-effective and cost-efficient SM nutrition education to a broad audience — but how do you ensure that information reaches your intended audience? This webinar will cover geo-fencing — the practice of restricting online content to particular geographic regions — using specific examples on Facebook and Google's advertising platforms to target SNAP-Ed eligible audiences.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, participants will gain understanding on:
- How University of Georgia SNAP-Ed SM uses geo-targeting options for promoted content on Facebook and Google AdWords.
- How geo-fencing helps to achieve 100% SNAP-Ed eligibility in geo-targeted online audiences.
- The basic knowledge to apply similar practices to other nutrition education program targeted to low-income audiences.

Pumpkin spice everywhere is one sign that the holidays are soon here. For many, the holidays are overwhelming — stressful, busy and too many opportunities to indulge. There are different strategies to address these challenges, and they all have to do with a bit of planning. Some would benefit by trying to institute healthy habits — like right now (or several months ago).

In the nutrition community, we know that the 1,000 day window from pregnancy until a child turns two is a critical time for both physical growth and brain development. Vision, hearing, receptive language, and higher cognitive functions like decision-making and emotional and social regulation are all developing rapidly — or falling behind.
