Diversity

The Ohio Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) by striving to recognize, respect, and include differences in ability, age, creed, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, size, and socioeconomic characteristics in the nutrition and dietetics profession. Our goal is to foster participation of all roles in nutrition and dietetics including students, interns, dietetic technicians, and dietitians. With a focus on inclusion and opportunities for all practitioners, including but not limited to advocacy, clinical, community, culinary, education, entrepreneurial, food science, management, marketing, private practice, research, and sustainability.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Mission

To advance the quality of life for our customers, clients, students, and colleagues through our fair and equitable practices, diverse membership, and reputable dietetic professionals.
