Participants and speakers will examine key challenges and opportunities related to improving WIC services in the midst of a pandemic and EBT transition, discuss existing strategies and programming that address intersecting WIC issues including using technology and telehealth to improve recruitment and retention of WIC participants, and identify opportunities to build regional partnerships to fill gaps in WIC services that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
