Industry Opportunities for 2010-2011
The Maryland School Nutrition Association (MSNA) is getting ready to “Go Global” for the 2010-2011 school year, and we hope our Industry partners will join us for what promises to be an exciting and rewarding journey that offers many opportunities for you to showcase your products. Read on to learn more!
Advertising – Place a half- or full-page ad in our quarterly journal, the Serving Spoon, and in our annual convention program. The journal is mailed to approximately 1,000 school nutrition professionals across Maryland. The convention program reaches approximately 500 convention-goers. These publications allow you to highlight your products and services to individuals who are responsible for making crucial purchasing decisions.
Questions about advertising? Contact our advertising chair Jodi Risse.
Exhibit Space at Annual Convention – You won’t want to miss this opportunity to showcase your products to 500 school foodservice employees from across Maryland. Attendees include many of our county supervisors, directors, and buyers. And you will be happy to note that our state show booth prices are among the lowest in the country. This year’s show is October 8-9, 2010, in Ocean City, Maryland. Exhibits are open Friday from 1 – 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10:15 a.m. – 2:15 p.m.
