Dear [WIC State agency director],

Please join us on [DATE] at [TIME] for an informational webinar conducted by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) about the WIC & FMNP Outreach, Innovation, and Modernization Evaluation (WIC Modernization Evaluation).

FNS has contracted with Mathematica, an independent research and consulting firm, and partners, MEF Associates and Nutrition Policy Institute (NPI), to conduct this evaluation.

Both FNS and the Mathematica team will conduct the webinar together. The webinar will include an overview of the study and role of WIC State agencies in the study. It will provide WIC State agencies an opportunity to ask both Mathematica and FNS questions about the evaluation.

We encourage you to attend the webinar, but if you cannot, it will be recorded and available for you to view at a later date.

Please register today for this 1-hour webinar on [DATE] at [TIME] at the following link: [WEBINAR REGISTRATION LINK]

Thank you in advance for attending the webinar. We look forward to working with you on this important study as we learn together about the impact of your transformative work to modernize WIC!

Sincerely,

Debbie Reed
