BY KATE DORR, RD, MBA Director of Shared Food Services Oneida Herkimer Madison BOCES
Hello, Area E! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the Director of Shared Food Services for Oneida Herkimer Madison BOCES. I graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutritional Food Science and Dietetics and then went on to complete my dietetic internship and graduate work with Cornell University. I also completed my Masters in Business Administration at SUNY POLY. I have been working with the OHM BOCES Food Service Program since early 2009; changing the school food environment has been a priority from the beginning. I have worked with regional partners to create the Mohawk Valley Farm to School Initiative (MVFTS). MVFTS has been integral in expanding FTS in the region through New York State Ag and Markets Farm to School grants received by the local (Oneida County) Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Harvest of the Month program and multiple New York State Food Days. I have also served on the Board of Directors for Oneida County Cornell Cooperative Extension and the New York School Nutrition Association’s Farm to School Committee. This is my second year serving on the NYSNA Board and the PP&L committee. ~ Kate ~
