We invite you to browse through our website to learn more. In addition, do not hesitate to ever call; or, we are happy to come to your office as needs require. We can share the following with you...
• Why do State Agencies contract with CN Resource?
• What are the benefits of using CN Resource?
• What are some current and past projects completed by CN Resource in partnership with State Agencies?
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE REASONS A STATE AGENCY USES CN RESOURCE?
• We needed a lot of reviews completed in a relatively short period of time. CNR helped us accomplish this.
• Two of our key employees were out on long-term disability so we utilized CNR until they were able to return.
• We had some struggling sponsors that needed follow-up reviews but we were not able to fit them into our regular review schedule. We contracted with CNR to conduct these follow up reviews and assess if corrective action had been properly implemented.
• We are a small state. We found it more cost effective to outsource our menu analysis for the relatively few we conducted each year.
• We have a relatively small staff, but hundreds of sponsors. By hiring CNR to conduct the reviews, our staff is then free to focus on outreach, technical assistance, and on-going training for our sponsors.
• We only needed help in one area for part of the year. It was not cost effective for us to hire full-time employees that might be idle the rest of the year.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF USING CN RESOURCE?
• Flexibility - Use us only when you need us. Whether it is 10 reviews or 300, we have the flexibility to meet your demands. At the same time, if you need us for two weeks or four years, the same holds true.
• Experience - Operating in the NSLP, SBP, SFSP and CACFP arena is rather unique, as you well know. CN Resource has dozens of people experienced with these programs including former State Agency employees, former foodservice directors, dietitians, nutritionists, accountants and CPAs.
• All-inclusive pricing - Most State Agencies appreciate our all-inclusive pricing. We can provide you with a set price to do a review. Included in this set price is all labor, benefits, travel, computer requirements, communications, training, copying, postage, support staff, overhead, etc.
• No office space requirements - We're out in the field conducting reviews or in our home office conducting analysis. You don't have to worry about setting up office space for us to use.
• No need to purchase hardware or software - Our reviewers come prepared with laptops, any required software, internet access, and any required peripherals.
• Professional - Our dress, conduct and attitude reflects on your State Agency so we set high standards for our reviewers, including education levels.
