What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?
Our future is bright! We must be laser focused on enhancing the visibility of the RDN as the nutrition expert, advocating for reimbursement efforts to expand access to the RDN and strengthening partnerships with other organizations. Our profession must be agile and ready to lean into this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment while not losing sight of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Who best, but an RDN with a proven track record to lead these efforts.
Campaign Statement
Experienced Academy leader, intentional communicator, authentic listener and collaborator. As Speaker-Elect, I will build bridges and move mountains to position the RDN as the nutrition expert and capitalize on advocacy efforts for reimbursement.
