Food guidelines for meetings

Contact us

 


In July of 2005, the WALWICA Board of Directors approved Nutrition, Food, and Physical Activity Guidelines for Healthy Meetings and Events to facilitate the selection of healthy, low-fat and lower calorie food and beverage options for meetings and events it convenes and organizes.

The strong relationship between diet and health and the increasing rates of overweight and obesity make supporting healthy food choices at work part of our commitment to health.
By following these guidelines, WALWICA promotes better health and help reduce risks for chronic diseases. These guidelines will be reviewed every five years, in accordance with updates to the USDA/DHHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that healthful food and beverages are provided at all association meetings, trainings, conferences and special events, contracted or otherwise.
