NEP In-Service 2009

The Nutrition Education Program held it's 2009 annual in-service meeting at Gulf Shores, Alabama, February 18-20. The beach was beautiful and the meeting was productive.

The OrganWise Guys® curriculum was introduced and all educators received an OrganWise doll to use with educational efforts.

A highlight of the meeting was that everyone had the opportunity to share innovative ideas and techniques for teaching nutrition education.

Here is a sampling of some of the fun we had at the NEP in-service in 2009...
