2018 Public Policy Workshop
In 2018, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics held their annual Public Policy Workshop in October. Over 30 NYSAND members participated in the visits to Capitol Hill. We met with 17 House offices and both Senate offices. Our focus was on discussing the issue of malnutrition, and we educated the legislators and their staff members on the role of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists in screening, treatment, and prevention.
