House of Delegates

As Weight Management Dietetic Practice Group delegate to the Academy House of Delegates (HOD), I am your voice. I represent you, your ideas, and your opinions. I bring your comments, concerns, and issues to the Academy and to the HOD. Throughout each year, I will be soliciting feedback on initiatives, and critical issues in a variety of ways. I cannot be your voice if I don't hear from you! I am also the voice of the HOD back to you with updates on Academy business, strategic plan, and current and future issues. Please contact me at any time with comments, clarification, issues and mega issues that you feel are important. When you see a comment request, please take a couple minutes of your valuable time to respond, what you say does matter.

From your Delegate Fall/Winter 2024:

We need you to identify the critical issues you see for the dietetics profession. What is going well? What needs to change? Let us know using the Critical Issues form. Please note that critical issues are reviewed quarterly so if you would like your WM DPG delegate to hear from you directly, please contact Kellene.isom@gmail.com.

The Academy has identified four key objectives in support of our future state vision:

• We are an advocacy and public policy POWERHOUSE.
• We are recognized as a STEM profession.
• We are perceived by the public and other health care professionals as the NUMBER ONE food and nutrition experts.
• We demonstrate OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE.
