Today, Lindsay Datlow, PhD, RD, Senior Vice President, Caprock Strategies and Jodi Kuhn, Director of Regulatory Compliance Kindercare, Learning Companies and President of the National CACFP Forum, joined us for our first introductory session as we unpack and get ready to use our experiences and public voice as the administration considers changes to the CACFP meal pattern through the proposed rule-making process. Thank you, Lindsay and Jodi, for volunteering your time to help educate us!
Watch the 30-minute recording to get an overview of the priorities in the DGAs, MAHA, how they will inform the anticipated proposed rule, and how we should be thinking about how that impacts CACFP operations. You can watch the recording here.
The next session, July 9th, is focused on what a proposed rule is and how our voice matters.
We'll take a look a final rule to consider together - how comments are analyzed and implemented in the final rule and regulation.
