OUR COMPANY
Our firm began operations in 2001 when Crandall Corporate Dietitians, the nation’s largest dietary consulting firm, spun off its child nutrition division and created CN Resource. Our goal back then is the same as it is today–
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
CN Resource exists to promote responsible oversight of government programs through system expertise, thoughtful and caring employees, forward-looking customer service, and overall concern for the health and well-being of America’s children.
We will always be grateful to our first few clients, which included SMIs for the Oregon Department of Education; CACFP reviews for the District of Columbia and the Louisiana Department of Education; as well as Summer Food Reviews for the Texas Department of Health. READ MORE >
