proud to call an important partner that is steadfast in its work to
empower students and help them build high achieving futures.
GENYOUth's mission to ensure all students are well nourished and
physically active to live their best lives is more urgent than
ever, and as a mother of two and a committed champion for building

opportunities to rise, thrive, and achieve their highest goals,"

critical to engaging, elevating, and inspiring change for youth
through original research on some of our nation's greatest health
and wellness issues," said Bersoff. "I am excited and honored to
have the opportunity to work even more closely with GENYOUth and
the distinguished Board of Directors."

providing schools with the resources needed to combat the growing
rates of food insecurity and inactivity among youth. I welcome
