What’s Up Washington SNAP-Ed?
What’s Up Washington SNAP-Ed is the new What’s Up Wednesday! These calls will be every other month and each one will feature a specific topic area. Unlike previous years, this year’s WUW calls will be more “open office hours” structure, where you can come and go as you please if you need support or have questions about specific topics. We encourage you to attend only if you do have questions, as these will be less conversation-driven and more support-driven. Use the link below to join each call when they are scheduled.
