Keynote with Mark Dinglasan

I applaud Table to Table for holding its first-ever Partners in Good Health Conference. Multi-sector partnerships that focus on combatting hunger as a public health and economic mobility issue are crucial to food security work. This event showcases not only Table to Table’s ability to participate in such partnerships, but also to build, nurture and sustain them.”
