The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), Food Marketing Workgroup, and the National Policy & Legal Analysis Network to Prevent Childhood Obesity (NPLAN) Webinar series held two back-to-back Webinars on healthy vending in public places and working with blind vendors on March 26, 2013. The first Webinar provided an introduction to healthy vending, including: rationale for pursuing healthy vending; the National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity Model Vending Guidelines; tips for implementation; and an introduction to working with blind vendors.
The second Webinar held a discussion about working with blind vendors. The Webinar started with an overview of the Randolph-Sheppard Act, the Act that gives blind vendors the right of first refusal to vend on federal property, and similar legislation affecting states and localities. Three case studies from North Carolina, Montana, and Alabama, which have worked with blind vendors, followed. The state representatives shared about working with blind vendors, what was successful, and what could have been more successful.
