  This satellite program, presented October 18, 2005, by the National Food Service Management Institute is a two-hour program on Local School Wellness Policy development. The primary goal of the program was to provide child nutrition professionals and other key players in the school and community an opportunity to hear the most current school wellness policy information. The program featured local school districts that already had health and wellness efforts under way and allowed participants the opportunity to call in and have their questions answered by a panel of experts.
