Personal and Campaign Statements
What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?
Campaign Statement
My first political experience was marching, with my son in a stroler, for the Equal Rights Ammendment. Politics and legislation have interested me since the early 1970s. Therefore, while completing my didactic courses in dietetics, I worked to begin a local chapter of the Women's Political Caucus.
