Hello and welcome to the 2020-21 EIAND membership year! Thank you to outgoing President Kara Wilcoxin for her hard work and dedication, and for carrying us through not only one, but two years as President. Also thank you to the outgoing Exec Board members; we will miss you!
This year, I am joined by Starr Gibson as Treasurer and Leila Shinn as President-Elect serving as your EIAND Exec Board. We are a small but mighty crew, and recently appointed a Nominating-Chair, Sarah Pittman, who administered a special election to confirm two more Exec Board positions for this year to ensure we have a full Board to serve you in the best way possible. This has no doubt been a difficult year for probably all of us, but we are stronger together, and we are committed to improving EIAND in terms of equity, diversity, and meeting the vast array of needs and interests of our members.
We know this year will look very different from past years with EIAND, but we are exploring different ways to keep us all connected and moving forward in professional growth and continuing education. It is very likely that all of our meetings will be virtual this year, but we will find ways for members to network despite the challenging circumstances. Please complete the membership form (found at the top of this page) and pay the applicable membership fee so you receive important updates and information about upcoming meetings.
I am truly interested in getting to know more of you better, and explore how we might work together to better serve our respective communities with nutrition services, so please reach out at any time! Finally, thank you for the opportunity to serve as your EIAND President this year.
Looking forward,
