MOWSW Execs Complete Nutrition Leadership Certification Program

Teresa Barry, CEO of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties, and Nora Logsdon, program manager and dietitian, received certificates of nutrition leadership from the University of Dayton’s Center for Leadership & Executive Development on Nov. 13.

They completed a series of courses sponsored by the center in collaboration with the university’s school of business administration and the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA). Terri (front row, second from right in photo) and Nora (second row, middle) were among 15 participants from 10 states who completed the three-day, intensive training program.

MOWAA works with the Center for Leadership & Executive Development to provide customized educational and professional development opportunities. The goal of MOWAA’s initiative is to equip senior nutrition programs with the leadership and resources necessary to fulfill the mission of ending senior hunger.

The center regularly offers a series of continuing education courses presented by leading faculty. Certificates of leadership are offered in the five key areas of senior nutrition program operation: leadership; nutrition; development and fundraising; volunteer management; and communications.

“There is hunger in America not because of a lack of food but because of a lack of leadership,” said Enid Borden, MOWAA president and CEO. “The center will provide our members with the skills they need today, and help them sustain their programs into the future.”
