What expertise would you bring to the committee?
should at least include knowledge of nutrition and public policy. In serving on such a committee, a community nutritionist would have the opportunity to help the school decision-makers understand the scope of child/youth obesity and the health and economic risks it poses to students and their families. The nutritionist could also research and evaluate the evidence regarding which wellness programs at other high schools were most successful and why. The school's Wellness Policy Committee might be able to adapt the format or materials from an existing program for its own use, with the community nutritionist's assistance.
