The diversity and nutrition-related knowledge that you bring to this organization is what make MAND unique.

If you have not reapplied for MAND yet, I want to encourage you to rejoin. Please click here.
And for individuals who are new to MAND, I want to welcome you.
Together, we will help you grow in your profession. Our organization consists of Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists; Dietetic Technicians, Registered; Dietetic interns; graduates; teachers; and students.
Traditionally, the previous MAND board members have been comprised of experts in their field of work. This year is no exception. The MAND board is comprised of individuals who work in a variety of nutrition-related areas (community, clinical, universities). Collectively, the MAND board has been hard at work planning for different events (networking, fundraising for its scholarships, continuing education) this upcoming year.
