Welcome to the North Suburban Dietetic Association
Posted:
8/14/2008
Greetings NSDA current and potential members,
Thanks for checking out our website. I invite you to become a member of NSDA. You can benefit from being active in your local dietetic association. Networking, affordable CPE’s perfect for your portfolio, up-to-date nutrition topics, job postings, volunteer positions and many more perks await you! If you sign up before the October meeting and attend both the October and September meeting, you'll go into a drawing for a $50 gas gift card!
We have a great lineup of speakers for the 2008-2009 year and we’re doing a few new things this year. The website will be utilized more by putting the membership directory, newsletters and scholarship application online. In addition at the meetings, our own members will be highlighted during networking, so please let me know if you’d like to present something.
We are grateful to the Harper College Diet Technician program for the use of the facility for meetings. This year we are also going to have two off site meetings: one at Northwest Community Hospital and a dinner meeting TBD.
The board members want to hear from you. Many of you have great ideas, so please share them with us. Please feel free to ask your questions and provide us with feedback at the upcoming meetings. Feel free to also e-mail me at anytime. Volunteer opportunities (with minimal time commitment) are available in NSDA,your dedication will not only benefit you professionally, it will benefit our organization to have your talents.
It’s a great year to be an Illinois RD/DTR, FNCE is in CHICAGO!
I leave you with a quote: "The main quality of leadership...is courage! If you can dream it, you can do it!" Walter Elias Disney
Have a happy, healthy year. See you at the meetings!
Anna Shlachter MS RD LDN
