The SSNM is an organization of energetic members that are passionate about Food Service. The Society keeps it's members up to date with publications, events and conferences. Our website is the hub of all the latest SSNM news.
A qualified member has much to offer
any employer. This individual is part of the
nutrition management team and is constantly
involved with the day to day operation of the
Food and Nutrition department providing the
much needed link between administrative and
foodservice personnel. The role of this manager
is to incorporate education and experience in
co-ordinating and supervising operations of the
foodservice department; to provide quality,
economical meal service, direct patient/client
care and customer service.
A qualified SSNM member is trained in problem solving and is capable of quick and accurate decisions when necessary with a working knowledge of all duties performed by all employees.
There is a need for qualified professional nutrition managers, as every organization needs continuing leadership and direct supervision by trained personnel. This is the only answer to an efficient well-run and quality controlled department in any organization - whether it be hospital, institution, or industry.
Increasing demands in the delivery of health care have led to the employment of members in many phases of the health care and food service industries. The emphasis on cost control, quality assurance and client/customer service, accreditation, and safe food handling requires the qualifications of a member of the Saskatchewan Society of Nutrition Management.

SSNM History
The Saskatchewan Foodservice Supervisor's Association was formed in November of 1972 at a meeting held in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Hospital Association in Regina. The primary objective of the new association was to aid in the professional development of its members.
The Association became incorporated in 1973 and in September of 1996, changed its name to the Saskatchewan Society of Nutrition Management to better reflect the changing roles of the foodservice supervisor as well as to align the name with the Canadian Society of Nutrition Management.
Since our beginning, we have won the "Chapter of the Year Award" five times, given by the CSNM. We are building strong relationships with
our educational partners, including SIAST, and continue to promote food service awareness through our workshops and Spring Conference.
