Motivational Interviewing for Nutrition Educators
This presentation will provide an overview of Motivational Interviewing, an evidence based approach to talking with clients, students and others about why, when, and how they can consider making changes in health behavior. Based upon the idea that most individuals

already have the requisite skills to successfully modify lifestyle and decrease health risk, MI employs strategies that will enhance the client's own, intrinsic motivation for and commitment to change. Please reserve your seat early as space is limited.

Cost: $50

George M. Briggs Nutrition Science Symposium
What’s on the Menu? Culture, Trends and Myths in Contemporary Family Meals
This session will offer a socio-ecological perspective on family meals, including a discussion of the influence of age, gender, social status and occasion in determining what constitutes a meal. Factors that influence maintenance or abandonment of meal-time traditions will be explored, focusing on cultural traditions from Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas among immigrants. The impact of the well-publicized decline in family meals and cooking skills on children’s health will be provocatively assessed,
taking into consideration the social significance of myths. Speakers will provide recommendations regarding appropriate research design and interpretation of findings
relating to these topics. In addition, traditional foods will be celebrated through a multi-cultural food display.
Speakers: Louis Grivetti, AB, MA, PhD, University of California-Davis; Anne Murcott, MA PhD, University of Nottingham

Public Policy Plenary: Project M.O.M.: Mothers & Others & MyPyramid
Addressing the eating habits of America’s children is a complicated problem, but what is often overlooked is the one place where a deliberate, positive trend toward change could take place right now—in the home. If we can collectively connect with a family’s “nutritional gatekeeper” in ways that help them shop, cook, or dine out a little more nutritiously and be a little more physically active, we could make a difference. Come hear USDA CNPP’s plans in addressing this issue. Project M.O.M. – Mothers & Others & MyPyramid is a 3-pronged government/multi-industry/education movement aimed at transforming the way America eats. How? By empowering all gatekeepers with the skills and information needed to model a healthful lifestyle and make “family-healthy” food choices.

Speaker: Brian Wansink, PhD, Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, USDA
