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 $7000 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 that have yet to be funded at the endowed level ($25,000) so that they can be given out.  We need about $15,000 to endow Corinne’s and $18,000 for Bernice’s scholarship.

If you would like to honor the memory of these two inspiring individuals, please consider donating to the CDAF scholarships established in their memories.  Both of these wonderful dietitians would have been thrilled to know they would be helping to support our future.

Please send your contributions to Pat Smith at CDA Central Office and indicate to which scholarship you would like your donation added.

Kara Caldwell-Freeman, CDAF President
