Cultivating Connection
In today’s virtual world, staying connected as professionals has never been easier, yet somehow, finding ways to make intentional and meaningful connections can be daunting. Between social media algorithms and overflowing inboxes, it can be easy to let opportunities pass us by.
As dietitians, credentialed food and nutrition practitioners, and dietetics students, our ability to meaningfully engage with one another both in person and online, helps strengthen nutrition and dietetics and advance the future of the profession. At the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation, we have been hard at work finding new ways to help our donors, volunteers, recipients, and supporters create vital connections and stay informed, engaged, and inspired.
The Foundation is committed to cultivating connection and community, and we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Foundation’s LinkedIn page. This platform will serve as a hub for the Foundation’s latest news, funding opportunities, campaigns, events, updates, and more. We invite you to follow us to follow along, and we invite you to like, share, and comment, sharing your own stories as a scholarship, award, or grant winner or as a donor.
As a public 501(c)3 nonprofit, the Foundation is the only philanthropic organization dedicated exclusively to advancing the profession of nutrition and dietetics by empowering RDNs, NDTRs, and dietetics students to advance public health and help consumers live healthier through the transformative power of food and nutrition. Following us on LinkedIn is a simple and effective way to stay informed, engage with colleagues, and help amplify messages about opportunities and the incredible work being done to advance our field. By sharing our posts and messages, you can accelerate our impact and help connect even more dietetics professionals to valuable opportunities.
Another great way to stay connected is through our biweekly newsletter, A Foundation for the Future. This newsletter delivers updates straight to your inbox with no fluff – just the latest highlights on funding opportunities, the impact of donor contributions, our latest initiative, and how you can help. If you haven’t subscribed yet, we invite you to do so to ensure you never miss an opportunity to see your dollars in action and learn more about how we are shaping the future of dietetics together.
We hope you to take advantage of these new opportunities to engage with us and stay in the know. Together, we can continue to build a strong, connected, and thriving community of nutrition and dietetics professionals that is building the future of our profession.
Sincerely,
Marcia Kyle, RDN, CDCES, LD, FAND
