NSDA President's Message
Posted:
8/15/2011
Welcome to the North Suburban Dietetic Association. North Suburban Dietetic Association (NSDA) is an affiliate of the Illinois Dietetic Association (IDA). Membership in NSDA is open to American Dietetic Association (ADA) Members. Affiliate dietetic associations help keep dietetics professionals connected with colleagues, potential employers, and allow for networking opportunities. Benefits include continuing education offered through member meetings, networking opportunities, job announcements, announcements in newsletters, and useful up to date happenings in the dietetic profession. In addition, members are kept up to date regarding state legislative action, IDA, and ADA activities. Members also have the opportunity to be involved in leadership roles and are eligible for district and IDA awards.
Last year was a very successful year and I look forward to the upcoming year. The Council on Practice has worked very hard to make sure there is an exciting, educational and fun program planned for 2011-2012. Program dates and details are posted below.
Yearly membership rates are $40 for RDs, $25 for DTRs, and $15 for students. You can sign up at the meetings, through the mail, or through online payment.
You can also attend individual meetings. $10 for ADA members and $15 for non-members per credit hour.
We are always looking for individuals that are interested in becoming part of the NSDA leadership team. It is a great way to really get to know members of the association and to play a part in a wonderful organization. Elected positions also earn CEUs. If you are interested, please contact Theresa Laurenz.
If you have any questions, please contact us at susiestotalhealth@gmail.com
I look forward to seeing you at the meetings this year!
