Tribute to Our Past Leaders

What CDA President had the signature greeting of “HOWDEEEE?”  If your answer was Corinne Williams, you are correct.  Many of us remember her mentoring and support as we entered or moved thorough positions in the profession.  Do you know which of our presidents became passionate about line dancing after retirement?  The answer to that question is Bernice Aarons.  Many of you, I am sure, remember Corinne and Bernice.

CDAF can award up to $8000 per year in scholarships to dietetic technicians, undergraduates and graduate students in Dietetics. Yet, we can do more.  We have established scholarships in the names of Corinne and Bernice.  The scholarship for Bernice has yet to be funded at the endowed level ($25,000) so that they can be given out.

We are pleased to announce that in the 2009-2010 year, the Corrine Williams Scholarship was awarded for the first time!

During this year CDA experience a great loss in that Pauline Schatz passed away.  To honor this Great Leader of the Profession, CDAF is accepting donations for a scholarship in her name.

If you would like to honor the memory of these two inspiring individuals, Bernice and Pauline, please consider donating. Both of these wonderful dietitians would have been thrilled to know they would be helping to support our future.
