Register today! - Virtual Public Policy Day

Webinar

Even though we cannot physically be together, the Ohio Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics felt our Policy Day could still be effective in a virtual medium. 

We strive to help all nutrition and dietetics professionals learn not only about policies at the state and federal level, but how to use your expertise in nutrition for the advancement of nutrition care and services. Registered dietitian nutritionists, nutrition and dietetic technicians, certified dietary managers, interns, and students can all have an impact in overall public health and policy development, therefore your legislators need to hear from you. 
 

Objectives

At the close of the session, the dietetic professional will have:  

  • Up-to-date information on Federal legislative issues affecting dietetics.  
  • Current information on how nutrition professionals are implementing federal policies related to nutrition in the state of Ohio.
  • Increased awareness of the need to advocate on nutrition issues with legislators and other policy makers.
