FNCE® Was a Huge Success – Thank You!

I want to thank everyone who helped make FNCE® a huge success. I enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues face-to-face and represent our Foundation. The energy in the Minneapolis Convention Center was electric and a great opportunity to network, share ideas and celebrate our profession.

I would like to also thank everyone who interacted with our Foundation throughout the five days. Whether you stopped by our booth and made a donation to our Make It a Million Scholarship Campaign, participated in our Anytime 5k, bid on a silent auction item or supported our 12 Twin Cities Marathon Charity Bib runners, you helped our Foundation make a difference in the lives of your fellow Academy members through our programs and resources. I would like to also give a special thanks to Academy President, Livleen Gill, MBA, RDN, LDN, FAND, who hosted the President’s Party with a Purpose at Minneapolis Orchestra Hall. More than 300 attendees enjoyed an evening of dancing and mingling with all proceeds benefitting our Foundation.

Academy Foundation Free Webinar:
Dietitian-led Food as Medicine Program in the Food Retail Setting:
Impact and Findings from a Feasibility Study

Did you know that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated companies’ digital offerings by seven years? According to a 2020 survey of executives, this presents an exciting opportunity for food retailers to capitalize on e-commerce trends, including integration with telehealth to expand access to nutrition care. 

On Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 12:30 – 1:30 pm (Central Time), join us for a free webinar to hear from RDNs who launched a feasibility study with a major food retailer to evaluate the impact of an RDN-led Food as Medicine e-commerce program on nutrition-related health outcomes of participants. 

Speakers will share the results of the feasibility study, changes in nutrition-related health outcomes, barriers and facilitators to implementing the program, and provide recommendations on next steps to implementing food as medicine programs led by RDNs, especially scalable programs to produce a positive return on investment, including improving health outcomes.

This webinar awards 1.0 CPEU in accordance with the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s CPEU Prior Approval Program. Registration is free and our Foundation is proud to provide this webinar to both Academy members and non-members.

Sincerely,

Marcia Kyle, RDN, CDCES, LD, FAND
