The California WIC Association invites you to attend our 18th Annual Conference. Last year, the California WIC community made public health history with the rollout of our new food packages. The healthy new WIC foods, which we coordinated with clear Healthy Habits messages, are already having a positive impact on millions of California families!

This year’s theme sets the stage for our next big step: WIC Goes Platinum! In the next few years, we will bring California WIC up to a whole new level of excellence, integrating our healthy foods and Gold Standard participant-centered nutrition education and breastfeeding support into the entire WIC clinic experience- stellar customer service, integrated staff wellness, widespread community collaboration, and innovative WIC leadership. We’re going from Gold -- to Platinum!

The workshops and trade show will showcase the improved WIC foods, healthy habits at birth and beyond, many possibilities for collaborating with partners, and opportunities for staff leadership in the clinic and community.


We wish to thank our sponsors for their continued support!
