“The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic impacted all activities on planet earth, including design, delivery, and evaluation of nutrition education and our daily nutrition behaviors.  Educators, researchers, and policymakers rose to the challenge to continue service, study phenomena, and problem solve in the face of significant barriers.  The 2022 SNEB Annual Conference will acknowledge and inventory these accomplishments to honor, inform, inspire, and design future health and nutrition education and behavior endeavors and venues,” said SNEB President-elect and conference chair, Barbara Lohse, PhD, RD.
