There have been an exciting set of reforms in Massachusetts recently, focusing on creating a more equitable and sustainable food system.   Among the most exciting of these reforms was the passage of the Massachusetts School Nutrition Bill, and Mayor Menino’s creation of a city “Director of Food Initiatives.”

As the state moves forward in implementing these new policies and structures, JALSA is proud to host Edith Murnane, the brand new Boston Director of Food Initiatives.  Ms. Murnane began her career as a chef in Boston who championed urban farming, and went on to serve as Manager for Sustainable Food Programs at Community Servings, a home-delivery hot meal program serving the home-bound and ill, (that JALSA leaders initiated many years ago.).

Ms. Murnane will be speaking about her plans for the new position, particularly how her work will be affected by the newly passed School Nutrition Bill and Food Policy Council Bill.  We encourage you to come join this important discussion.
