Beth Morris has directed school nutrition programs for over 24 years, beginning in a small rural district before joining Lynchburg City Schools in 2015. She has led the expansion of alternative breakfast models, districtwide Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), Farm to School efforts, and a return to scratch cooking. Her commitment to high-quality, from-scratch meals is demonstrated by her investment in Brigaid, bringing a professional chef into the district to train staff and elevate the standard of school meals.

Beth has grown the Summer Food Service Program through strong community partnerships and has served as a regional advisor and trainer for her state agency, supporting district directors in financial management and menu planning.

Named an After School Meals Champion by No Kid Hungry in 2019, Beth has presented widely on school nutrition best practices. She currently serves as President-Elect of the School Nutrition Association of Virginia for the 2025–2026 school year.
