Certification & Credentialing

Earning your certification increases your knowledge of food safety and nutrition and demonstrates your commitment to your profession. The SNS Credential is a mark of excellence and achievement that reflects the expertise needed to manage school nutrition programs in today’s challenging climate.

Both of these are great accomplishments and should be recognized as such. This is why SNASD gives cost breaks for state conference registration to those holding certification or the SNS credential.
