Lisa Eaton Wright, MS RD LDN
Posted: 8/18/2011
Hello!
Welcome to the West Suburban Dietetic Association (WSDA) web page and thank you for your interest in our Association. As an affiliate of the Illinois Dietetic Association, membership in WSDA is open to all American Dietetic Association Members.
As the saying goes, time really does fly! WSDA’s Programming Committee has put on three very successful programs – and there’s more yet to come! January brings a convenient, stay home-stay warm webinar; February Seminar in Naperville brings with it 5 CEUs of food and nutrition information; March is a road trip to NOW Foods; and we finish the year back at Benedictine University with a lovely dinner and an awesome presentation by two of ADA’s national spokespeople!
I hope you have been enjoying the WSDA Updates that are sent out weekly. They are chock full of announcements and job opportunities for all members.
WSDA has gone social – Social Media that is! Make sure you check us out at the links below:
