Registration for the CSFP/TEFAP Best Practices Conference is open! Please use this link to register: CSFP/TEFAP Best Practices Conference. Registration will remain open until July 18, 2024.
In the registration page there are addressee for the two conference locations (with a map) and hotel/dining recommendations. Food Banks will be meeting at the Central Texas Food Bank for Day 1 of the training with Feeding Texas and at the Barbara Jordon Building on Day 2 with TDA and USDA. There is an outline of the Agenda for each day and filters that will make it easier to see the RA track.
