RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Terry McAuliffe is creating a new panel aimed at reducing childhood hunger while promoting proper nutrition and Virginia agriculture.
McAuliffe signed an executive order Thursday establishing the Commonwealth Council on Bridging the Nutritional Divide.
He named his wife, Dorothy McAuliffe, as the new council's chairman.
The governor said the council will work to make sure that Virginia pursues every federal dollar currently available that promotes nutrition and healthy living.
The council will serve an advisory role and meet at least four times a year.
