A long-standing member of CSNM, Betty Ann Powell, wrote a letter in which she recognized the value of our community. “I would like to pay tribute to all the members (too many to name) who have worked tirelessly over the years to improve the credibility & reputation of CSNM & elevate the stature of our profession.” Read Betty Ann’s complete letter.
HISTORY:
In 1965, the Canadian Food Service Supervisors' Association was formed. The Association's main objective was to ensure high standards of training for its members and to ensure quality food service to the public. In 1991, the membership voted to change the name to “The Canadian Society of Nutrition Management” in order to enhance recognition and understanding of the profession. The Executive and the Board of Directors conduct the Society's business. Nominations of officers for the following year are presented and elections are held at the annual meeting each spring. CSNM continues to pursue excellence in our field by bringing together and equipping a diverse group of professionals to be leaders in nutrition management and in their communities.
