NISN Speakers Bureau

Nutrition in the Schools Network (NISN) is dedicated to improving nutrition in schools through education and advocacy. Our speakers bureau will provide interested people with information on healthy eating.

NISN speakers support the NISN mission: to educate and advocate for healthy, nutritional food in schools. Nutritional food - defined as whole food close to the way nature made it, minimally processed and without additives - properly nourishes the brain and the body for optimal health, learning, and social behavior.

Speakers are available for a variety of audiences:

  • Pre-school children
  • Children in school
  • Parents
  • Teachers
  • Community organizations
  • Professional associations

Currently, speakers are available to speak in Cook, DuPage, Will, and Kane counties.
