WISCONSIN USDA FOODS DIRECT DIVERSION EMAIL DISCUSSION GROUP

To facilitate the flow of ideas and communication between schools regarding Direct Diversion,the Wisconsin Task Force on USDA Foodscreated the Direct Diversion discussion group or listserv. All schools participating in Direct Diversion have been automatically registered for this listserv.

Sample topics for discussion:

  • Processors
  • Collaboration between direct diversion schools to achieve full truckloads to processors prior to annual order
  • Sales verification
  • Annual ordering
  • Utilization of commodity rollover pounds
  • Monitoring methods
  • Procurement
  • Costs for your school

This listserv is a place for you to talk with others participating in direct diversion. We anticipate its purpose will help you to solve problems, ask questions and gain insight from your colleagues who, like you, have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. The following are expectations that we ask of you as a member:

  • Be respectful of all members on the list. Not everyone will agree on every issue, however all opinions are valued. A conversation that degrades into name calling, etc. will not be tolerated.
  • Out of respect of everyone’s time, please keep posts related to direct diversion. If you are unsure if a topic is suitable, please contact with the administrator or a committee member.
  • Use your judgment when posting messages and be conscious of including appropriate language and content that does not offend other members.
  • The listserv is to be used as a vehicle to share information and resources, not as a sales platform.

If your school is not currently participating in Direct Diversion but would like to be a part of the Direct Diversion Discussion Group, please email Dino Ante at nd include your name and the name of your school.
