Welcome back Charleston-area nutrition professionals to another great CTDA

year! This year you are lucky to have two
CTDA presidential alumni, Sara and Nina,
sharing the year as your co-presidents as we
just couldn't stay away! We are looking forward to working with a great team, and especially getting Melissa ready to be president next year! Our board is a fabulous mix
of RDs from across the area and across the
spectrum and we hope to plan several great
events to get you inspired this year. Based
on the feedback from the annual membership survey, we have made some changes
(like no T-shirts this year), and have taken
your preferences for days and locations for
events seriously! We have heard you enjoy
the socials, so we are planning a spring/new
year social in addition to our annual fall social. We are also talking about doing more
skill-based events like one on communication
skills, sales/marketing skills, and even media/presenting skills, so stay tuned for how
these ideas unfold! We will also continue the
tradition of doing community service with a
holiday event giving back to the community,
and others as they come up. We will continue
to offer the book clubs based on popular
press books in a more intimate setting to get
to know each other. Plan for another great
food day and RD day in the spring as well!
Join us on our journey this year as we sharpen our skills and fine tune our practice!
