Accomplishing Goals and Setting New Ones
The November/December issue of the Texas
WIC News is traditionally devoted to look-
ing back on the year. My recap of 2018 must
begin with the successful rollout of TXIN!You
all made it happen through hard work, par-
ticipating in training, and providing valuable
input resulting in the statewide implementa-
tion of TXIN. Well done!
The Texas WIC program accomplished
other goals this year, such as relaunching
TexasWIC.org, the production of new recipe
videos, and the graduation of the 2018 dietetic
interns. Projects that began in 2018 and will
continue into 2019 include strengthening
customer service across the state to provide
consistent and timely communication about
the program to ensure families remain with
WIC until their children turn 5.
On pages 4-7 you can read about how the
2018 dietetic interns supported each other to
reach their goals. The articles on pages 8-11
offer suggestions for dealing with holiday
stress and tips for eating well to feel well.
Most of you are accustomed to receiving
updates, helpful tips and the program's ac-
complishments in the Texas WIC News which
appears bi-monthly in your offices. These
magazines provided twenty or so pages of
nutrition education, counseling tips, outreach
ideas, and a little silliness from Eaton Wright.
This edition, however, will be the last one you
receive through the mail.
In our effort to continually improve effective-
ness and efficiency, Texas WIC will be chang-
ing the delivery of the information tradi-tionally provided in Texas WIC News to an
electronic version.
Starting January 1, 2019, Texas WIC News willmerge with the weekly E3 Express newsletter
to form the Texas WIC Express. The Texas WIC
Express will be emailed every Monday and
will contain the same updates and outreach
tips currently in the E3 Express, but with ad-
ditional information on nutrition education,
clinic services, infant feeding, vendor man-
agement and other articles typically found in
the Texas WIC News.
Page 18 of this issue highlights some of the
biggest stories and proudest moments we've
shared in this magazine throughout the years.
From all the staff at the State Agency, we thank
you for making Texas WIC News a success.We
look forward to continuing to partner with
you through the Texas WIC Express on stories
and topics that are pertinent to you as you
support Texas families._n
