SNE affiliates and new contacts
FROM SNE
From SNE SNE COUNCIL OF AFFILIATES Fourteen state and local organizations interested in nutrition education have affiliated with the Society for Nutrition Education. Reasons for affiliation include networking with other nutrition educators; sharing nutrition education information, materials and program ideas with other affiliates; receiving information about legislative efforts related to nutrition education; and receiving guidance and support from other affiliates, SNE Board members and SNE staff. One benefit of affiliation is the opportunity to have an SNE Board member visit the affiliate to give a presentation on SNE and the individual's area of expertise. Many affiliates have taken this opportunity to hear from an SNE Board member in 1989 and 1990. Another benefit to affiliates is that for each new SNE member recruited through the affiliate, the local affiliate will be reimbursed the $10 new member fee. SNE is interested in increasing the number of affiliated state and local organizations, since these groups can provide individual and localized services to SNE members in a cost efficient manner and also assist in membership recruitment. If you belong to a state or local nutrition organization that might be interested in the benefits and opportunities of affiliation with SNE, please contact Suzanne Pelican, Indian Health Service, Box 5558, Santa Fe, NM 87502. Telephone: (505) 988-6420.

SNE DMSION REPORTS: Nutrition Education of Children The Nutrition Education of Children (NEC) Division has as its major goal to encourage and facilitate communication, cooperation and the exchange of ideas among SNE members interested in the nutrition education of children in preschool through grade 12. To help meet that goal, NEC organized a major session on Dietary Guidance for Children at the 1990 SNE Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California. Marilyn Briggs, Manager, Nutrition and Food Services, Office of Child Nutrition, California Department of Education, has proVided the following additional information to supplement the annual meeting presentation. ~ SCHOOL NUTRITION: SHAPING HEALTHY CHOICES "School Nutrition: Shaping Healthy Choices" is a new campaign sponsored by the California State Department of Education (CSDE) to ensure that meals served in child nutrition programs model healthy food choices and reinforce classroom health and nutrition instruction. 159
There are six basic components to the campaign. The first is to establish quantitative dietary guidance for children. Recently, the California Daily Food Guide was published by the State Department of Health Services, in collaboration with nutritionists from several state agencies. The children's section of the life cycle dietary guidance will be applied to the school breakfast and lunch programs by nutritionists working with advisory committees representing schools, the food industry, and the community. Second, two model project networks involving twenty school districts will explore the most effective methods for implementing the nutrition guidelines i~ school nutrition programs. These proJects will develop models for effective ways to standardize recipes and menus, train food service personnel, and involve the community in meeting these dietary standards for children. A third component addressed in the campaign is a focus on the food industry. CSDE and the food industry will work together to increase the availability of healthy food products for schools. In addition, methods to obtain more complete product information will be pursued to assist child nutrition personnel in monitoring nutritional quality of foods served in schools. Fourth, a media and training campaign to launch "School Nutrition: Shaping Healthy Choices" will be implemented. The campaign will promote awareness of the California Daily Food Guide, nutrition guidelines for school meals and the CSDE's commitment to implement these standards in child nutrition programs. The fifth component is legislative leadership. State legislation enacted in September, 1989 required the CSDE to establish nutrition guidelines for all food and beverages sold on school campuses. The model project networks will assess the fiscal impact of implementing these dietary guidelines in all school meals. If these studies show an increased cost, the legislature will be approached to request an increase in the State meal reimbursement rate. The sixth component is evaluation. Evaluation strategies will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the "School Nutrition: Shaping Healthy Choices" campaign.
