5 Reasons to Attend the 2020 NWA Nutrition & Breastfeeding Conference
July 23, 2020
The National WIC Association’s Nutrition Education & Breastfeeding Conference is the most popular gathering of WIC nutrition and breastfeeding professionals in the United States. Session topics span from science and research to policy and best practices. Subject matter includes nutrition, breastfeeding, maternal health, health equity, and community outreach.
With food insecurity on the rise, we are seeing an increased need for nutrition services, breastfeeding advocacy, and health equity work. WIC agencies and workers are addressing these challenges and public health threats with limited resources, making their jobs more challenging than ever. This year’s conference is focused on Feeding Families, Fueling the Future.
