Going from Plain Vanilla to the Cherry on Top: Maximizing the Power of Intermediaries

Federal and private non-profit presenters for this session will provide insights and examples about how using “intermediaries” in a state SNAP E&T program can provide value to states by increasing the program's resources, providing technical assistance, and onboarding new providers. Intermediaries can also influence state program policy and identify necessary system enhancements, increasing efficiencies, and ultimately improving performance outcomes.
