The SNS credential does make you stand out among your peers. It can give you and edge when searching for a new position in school foodservice. Lisa Zdenek, SNS Sachem CSD
I was skeptical about taking the credentialing exam... why do I have to prove to anyone that I am knowledgeable and proficient in my profession? Well I decided to go ahead and test my knowledge just for my own satisfaction. I did prepare by studying the recommended material provided. Well turns out there was a lot of information that I had forgotten or never really knew. I was thrilled when I received my SNS credential not just for my own satisfaction, but I was unexpectedly recognized by my board for the accomplishment as well.

When I first started in the school nutrition field, I was working with an amazing group of established professionals. After joining the NYSNA and then the SNA. I wanted to challenge myself to become stronger teammember. I had to earn my seat at the table with everyone. There was no one in my region credentialed yet, I was the first to take the SNS exam. I was a Food Service Supervisor at the time. Having my SNS credentials enabled me to standout at promotion time and allowed me to become a School Lunch Director. Patrick Walsh, SNS Broome-Tioga BOCES

As a School Nutrition Specialist (SNS) for over 10 years now, this title has been a valuable stepping-stone in my career.

I always refer to the K-12 Food Service field as the hidden gem within the multitude of career opportunities in the Food Service Industry.
