About KSNA
The Kentucky School Nutrition Association represents over 2,000 school nutrition professionals statewide. KSNA members include school cafeteria staff, managers, and district level staff which include supervisors, office personnel, chefs and directors. Also included in our membership are state agency staff and directors from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and the Kentucky Department of Education – School and Community Nutrition Division. We are also fortunate to have great support from our Industry Partners who work with us to help provide services and education to our members.
Detailed nutrition standards, strict food safety requirements along with complex regulations, limited budgets, special dietary restrictions make every day a challenge for school nutrition professionals. Administering school meals requires skills in many areas and SNA’s Certificate and Credentialing Programs help members improve their skills and grow their programs.
