South Suburban


President's Message

Dear Members,

I am truly honored to serve as the President of the South Suburban Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. As we embark on this new journey together, I want to express my deep gratitude for entrusting me with this responsibility.

Our academy is a community of dedicated professionals committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and nutritional excellence. In the coming year, my goal is to foster a sense of unity and collaboration among our members and to actively work towards increasing our membership and participation.

We all share a passion for nutrition and dietetics, and by expanding our reach, we can make an even greater impact on the communities we serve. I encourage each one of you to reach out to colleagues, friends, and fellow professionals who might benefit from joining our district academy. The more diverse our membership, the richer our discussions and the broader our impact.

To achieve this, we planned exciting new initiatives and events designed to engage and inspire. From informative in-person presentations to our community outreach committee that raises awareness about the importance of nutrition, we have a plethora of opportunities to learn, share, and connect.

Your active participation is crucial to our success. By attending events, contributing to discussions, and sharing your experiences, you not only network and enhance your own professional growth but you also contribute to the collective knowledge of our community.

I am eager to hear your ideas and suggestions on how we can attract and involve more members. Please feel free to reach out to me and the rest of the board with your thoughts. Together, we can create a vibrant community that thrives on the passion and expertise of its members.

Thank you for your dedication and support. Let's make a difference, one new member and engaged participant at a time.
