1. I spend time organizing and preparing before meetings and use a timed agenda to conduct effective and efficient meetings. 2. Listening with the intent to understand, I learn a great deal from which I gain confidence. We may not come away from our conversation in total agreement, but we do come together with mutual respect. 3. My recent service on the ACEND Board, the AND Ethics Committee, and my professional reading keeps me abreast of issues. 4. I believe that anyone impacted by a decision should be at the table, heard, respected, valued, and understood. |

What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?
The impacts of changing demographics on education, worksites, and healthcare create opportunities for pipelines, mentoring, and interprofessional education. The creation of recruitment pipelines starting in middle schools will encourage a diverse student body to be excited about careers in nutrition and dietetics. Fostering worksite mentoring opportunities allows each generation to share expertise and mitigate the pending retirement crisis. Interprofessional education focused on long-term care and chronic disease prevention is integral for addressing U.S. healthcare needs.
