Huron City Schools Nutrition Director Wins National Recognition

(National Harbor, MD, April 29, 2015) – The national, non-profit School Nutrition Association has awarded Sue Whitaker, nutrition services director of Huron City Schools, the Mideast regional Director of the Year Award, which recognizes the extraordinary contributions of school nutrition directors who manage effective school meal programs providing healthy, appetizing meals to students.

The regional Director of the Year Award was created to recognize school nutrition directors who exhibit an extraordinary commitment to their school meal programs. The directors are responsible for maintaining the quality of the program through student interaction, menu planning and a commitment to serving nutritious, tasty and well-balanced school meals. Through effective oversight of all aspects of foodservice operations, including budgeting, staffing, training, marketing and community outreach, school nutrition directors ensure the overall success of school meal programs.

In July, Sue will be honored during the Awards Ceremony at the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference in Salt Lake City, UT.
