chair-mcdonald0809-smWelcome new members, returning members and visitors to our website! I have been a member of this practice group for many years and now have the pleasure of serving as your Chair for 2008-2009. I want to thank the outgoing officers and committee members from 2007-2008 for the excellent leadership they provided.
This includes:

Meetings & Events

Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo
McCormick Place West
Chicago IL
Philadelphia PA
October 25-28, 2008
 

Glenda Warren, Immediate Past Chair
Laura Graney, Secretary
Laura Thomas, Nominating Committee Chair
Judy Dodd, Marketing Committee Chair
Melinda Safir, Publications Chair

And past committee members taking on new leadership roles:
Karen Bakies, Chair to Past Chair
Mary Ann Burkman, Membership Committee Chair to Secretary
Laura Chalea-Hoover, Nominating Committee Member to Communications Chair
Theresa Lally, Legislative & Public Policy Chair to Chair Elect
Kathleen Morgan, Nominating Committee Chair Elect to Chair

This year’s leadership team members and contact information are located under the Leadership Team & Executive Committee Members link. I hope that if you have a question or concern that you will contact us.

As the new membership year gets underway NEP has a number of open committee positions. I would invite you to think about volunteering for one of these positions. While there is some time commitment involved the rewards are numerous. For myself, I have had the opportunity to meet and become friends with others throughout the country, develop my leadership skills and had the opportunity to attend conferences I would probably not have attended without NEP support. As an added incentive, some of the positions provide financial resources to attend FNCE.

Open Committee Positions:
Membership Chair
Legislative and Public Policy Chair
Professional Education Chair (new for 2008/09)
Awards Chair (new for 2008/09)

If you would like to learn more about anyone of these opportunities please feel free to contact me nepchair@dietetics.com. I would be happy to provide you with more information.

Have a great summer!

Sharon McDonald, MEd, RD, LDN
2008-2009 NEP DPG Chair
