We are thrilled to share that Jennifer Gordon, Laveen School District’s Director of Child Nutrition, has been named the School Nutrition Association’s National Director of the Year for 2025—yes, that’s for the entire country!

The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is a prestigious non-profit organization representing over 50,000 school nutrition professionals across the United States. Each year, the SNA recognizes exceptional leaders who demonstrate innovation, dedication, and excellence in serving nutritious meals to students. This year, they selected our very own Jennifer Gordon for this top national honor.

Jennifer will be officially recognized at the SNA’s Annual National Conference this summer in San Antonio, Texas, where she will be celebrated among her peers for her outstanding leadership and impact.
