This year's EFNEP National Coordinators' Conference was held in Kansas City, Missouri. The theme of the conference was Nourishing Communities through Nutrition Education, Partnership, and Innovation.

North Carolina had two posters to share about the innovative courses and projects developed over the past year.

Dr. Annie Haridson-Moody, Interim Assistant Family and Consumer Sciences Program Leader, was able to attended this year's conference. We were glad to have Annie join to learn more about EFNEP at a National Level.

Paula Norris and Megan Berthiaume also got attendees up and moving for the early morning workout to kick off the day.

It was another great conference filled with connection and collaboration with our colleagues across the country. Staff returned with fresh ideas to enhance EFNEP in North Carolina and continue to support and improve the health of North Carolinians.
