2021 NWA National Policy Conference Attendees and Scholarship Recipients

“Attending the NWA conference this year greatly impacted my interest in legislative policy (something I honestly never thought would happen!).  I am very passionate about WIC and this conference helped me to better understand the need to advocate at this level to be able to better serve our families.  If we really want things to happen on a broad scale to benefit our participants, advocating for legislative policy on behalf of our WIC families is vital.” 

-Sarah Nix, Eau Claire Co WIC

“The NWA conference was an inspiring opportunity to understand how policy can shape the WIC program to better serve participants. I’m so excited to be a better-informed advocate for the families and communities we serve.”

-Marah Zinnen, Sixteenth Street Community Health Center WIC
