SNEB
Greetings, SNEB members. It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure as the executive director for SNEB. I started with SNEB in 2002, doing membership and meetings, under the direction of then executive director Mary Ann Passi, and became executive director in 2008. During those years, I have learned a great deal from so many of you and have been privileged to witness the tremendous passion you have for nutrition education and the Society. I will take those experiences with me as I make this change!
I leave you in the very capable hands of Rachel Daeger, who will be the new Executive Director. I will continue to work with Rachel, in an advisory capacity, through July 2017.
Rachel needs little introduction to most of you, as she has been with SNEB for over five years and communicating with all of your throughout that time! She is a Certified Association Executive, which puts her in the top 5 percent amongst her colleagues. Rachel has touched nearly every aspect of SNEB business so is well-prepared to take on this new role. She shares your passion for SNEB's mission and is excited to lead SNEB going forward.

Prepackaged, processed food is known to be less healthy than whole foods, but new University of Minnesota research shows people still buy it — and not just for convenience. Researchers found that a lack of meal-planning and cooking skills increases parents' odds of buying prepackaged, processed foods. The study was published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

In this introduction to her blog series, Andrea Spray lays the groundwork for exploring why nutrition-sensitive social protection programs may show limited impact on nutrition outcomes even while the sector linkages are clear. She focuses on operationalization and the "soft stuff that matters for nutrition" as the areas where expedient decisions on the ground take precedence over opportunities for a strong nutrition-sensitive program.
