Deputy Agriculture Secretary to Discuss Administration's Commitment to Nutrition during Keynote Address at 2009 ANSA-NANASP Conference

Kathleen Merrigan, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will deliver the keynote address at the 2009 joint conference of the Association of Nutrition Services Agencies (ANSA) and the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs (NANASP) on Thursday, June 25th, 2009, in Atlanta, Georgia.

June 12, 2009 – Lifelong AIDS Alliance’s Executive Director, David Richart, and Director of Nutrition Services, Patrick Schultz, will attend the ANSA-NANASP conference later this month and are looking forward to hearing the Secretary speak and open up the national dialog around the President’s commitment to nutrition in the U.S.

At the conference, Dr. Merrigan will discuss President Obama's commitment to improving the nation's health and making a sustainable, safe and nutritious food supply a pillar of his goals for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). She will review the President's concern about the nutrition of America's children and the effect of establishing healthy eating patterns in childhood on long-term health and chronic disease. Additionally, she will also look at the scope of the USDA programs that directly and indirectly affect elderly and fragile populations, such as those served by Lifelong’s nutrition program, Chicken Soup Brigade. 

The 2009 ANSA-NANASP Conference, "Connecting the Worlds of Health and Nutrition," is scheduled for June 24-26 at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center and is a first-time collaboration of two leading national organizations committed to improving the nutritional status of elderly and chronically ill populations across the United States.

Lifelong AIDS Alliance is committed to preventing the spread of HIV, and to providing practical support services and advocating for those whose lives are affected by HIV and AIDS.  Lifelong is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  www.LLAA.org.
