to end childhood hunger
I’d like to express congratulations and sincere gratitude to Anneliese Tanner. This month she ll be leaving her role as executive director of Food Service and Warehouse Operations for the Austin Independent School District.
Since 2015, Anneliese has treated the school cafeteria as both an extension of the classroom and a source of equitable access to healthy, delicious food for all kids in Austin, where many students rely on school meals as their primary source of nutrition.
From expanding breakfast in the classroom and afterschool meals so students get three meals a day, to making meals both nutritious and appealing by introducing salad bars, food trucks, scratch cooking and global cuisines she has been an innovative and impactful leader.
