Delegates Corner

The House of Delegates (HOD) serves as the voice of Academy members by identifying emerging issues affecting the nutrition and dietetics profession and helping develop solutions to these critical challenges.

As an Academy member, your voice matters. Delegates serve as an important link between members and the Academy, encouraging two-way communication and gathering input on issues that impact our profession. The strength of the Academy depends on the ideas, perspectives, and leadership of members like you, and volunteer leaders are essential to advancing our profession. Have questions, concerns, or feedback? Contact our Delegates at [email protected].
