About Fit Pick™

Acknowledgements

Leadership and funding for this collaborative effort was provided by:

	Community Choices, a non-profit organization in Clark County, Washington, is a catalyst for healthy communities. As an advocacy organization, Community Choices plays a unique and critical role — to listen and use data, and engage and mobilize others to drive long-term, sustainable change that will improve the health of our community and the quality of life for all residents. Learn more about Community Choices and review the most recent Community Report Card at www.clarkcommunitychoices.org or call (360) 567-1067.
	Steps to a Healthier Clark County supports best-practice, community-based interventions to reduce diabetes, obesity and asthma. Fiscal Year 2008 marks Community Choices’ final year of administering a five-year Steps to a HealthierUS grant. Funding comes from the Steps to a HealthierUS Cooperative Agreement which is a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) program advancing the goal of helping Americans live longer, better and healthier lives. Steps advocates for appropriate changes to public policy and organizational practice in order to reduce the burden of diabetes, obesity and asthma, by addressing three related risk factors – poor nutrition, physical inactivity and tobacco use and exposure. For more information about Steps to a Healthier Clark County, please visit www.stepstoahealthierclarkco.org or call (360) 567-1067.
	National Automated Merchandising Association (NAMA) is the national trade association of the food and refreshment vending, coffee service and foodservice management industries including on-site, commissary, catering and mobile. Its membership is comprised of service companies, equipment manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to operating service companies. The basic mission of the association, to collectively advance and promote the automatic merchandising and coffee service industries, still guides NAMA today as it did in 1936, the year of the organization’s founding. NAMA supports, with administrative, logistical and financial assistance, a network of 30+affiliated State Councils encompassing 36 states, where the vending and coffee service industries focus on local issues and concerns as well as gathering frequently for networking opportunities. Fit Pick™ and Balanced For Life™ are programs developed and administered by NAMA. For more information, visit the NAMA website: www.vending.org or www.balancedforlife.net.
