DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

 

Dear members of the  California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 

We invite you to join us for a town hall meeting virtually on July 15, 6:00 pm -7:00 pm  and Thursday July 16, 11:30 am-12:30 pm. The meeting is part of an ongoing effort by the California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to support and understand the diverse needs of our community and specifically discussion issues around Diversity and Inclusion that are imperative to the nutrition and dietetics profession.  

 

We invite questions in advanced to be submitted by July 15 at noon via this link and will accept questions via the virtual chat box during the events. Both events will be recorded. (We ask that participants remain muted with videos off during the event so that questions may be answered.) Follow up to the event input and questions will be posted and action items determined. 

“Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another’s uniqueness.” —Ola Joseph
