5. Recommendation to appoint Claire Mance from the UW-Madison Division of

Extension Dane County to the AAA Nutrition and Wellness Committee

My education and field experience includes dietetics, public

health nutrition, and food policy. For the last 8+ years I have

worked with the Dane County FoodWIse program to promote

changes for individuals, communities, and systems to make

healthy choices easier for those living with limited incomes. I’m

thrilled to be considered for this committee because my work with

older adults has really grown over the last 18 months, and I’d love

to be able to both share my perspective and also learn from a

group of experts dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing

of this growing community. A little bit about my experience: Last

year, I supported several senior communities in accessing fresh,

local food by coordinating pop-up farm stands at senior centers to

decrease barriers to food access for older adults using SFMNP

vouchers. Now that the relationships have been made, the farm

stands will continue in 2025. I’m also excited to embark on a new

endeavor with AARP and the City of Madison to support getting

older adults on bikes and becoming comfortable with the B-Cycle

bike share system. This effort will kick off during bike week

during the first week of June.

Another role I play at Extension is helping to grow the

StrongBodies strength-training program for older adults. I’ve

helped establish a new program in Cambridge, and I look forward

to establishing more sites around Dane County in the coming

years. Thank you for considering my nomination!

6. Recommendation to appoint Katie Buenger from Second Harvest Food Bank to the

AAA Nutrition and Wellness Committee

I am excited about the opportunity to join the AAA

Nutrition/Wellness Committee. As a 39-year-old resident of

Madison, WI, and the Director of Partnerships & Programs at

Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, I am deeply

committed to strengthening food access and nutrition programs in

our community. In my role at the primary food bank serving the

region, I have seen firsthand the impact of nutrition programming

and understand the importance of collaboration in addressing food

insecurity. I am eager to contribute to this group by supporting

existing initiatives, gaining a deeper understanding of the

complexities of current programs, and helping to evolve and

advocate for additional resources as needed. Equally important to

me is the opportunity to learn from those managing these

programs administratively so that I can ensure community and

partner voices are accurately represented in organizational

decision-making. I look forward to bringing my experience and

passion for food security to this committee and working alongside

others to create meaningful and sustainable solutions.
