One of the goals in the 1995-98 American School Food Service Association (ASFSA) National Strategic Plan is "to identify sources for future school food service and nutrition employees." Where will school leaders come from to lead the profession into the 21st century? Anecdotal information suggests that 50% of school food service directors in California will retire around the year 2000. The overall objective of this research was to examine the current and projected availability of school food service district directors in the United States. Results of the study showed that 12% of those surveyed "agreed or strongly agreed" that there is currently a shortage of qualified school food service directors, while 28% remained neutral. Of those surveyed, 26% "agreed or strongly agreed" that there would be a shortage by the year 2000, while 24% remained neutral. When asked if survey respondents believed that there would be a shortage in the year 2000, 47% stated yes. This research will help ASFSA plan for future human resource needs.
