Origins
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was founded in 1917 in Cleveland, Ohio, by a group of
women led by Lenna F. Cooper and the Academy's first president, Lulu G. Graves, who were
dedicated to helping the government conserve food and improve public health during World War I.
[1] It is now headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.[12]
The original mission of the Academy was in part to help make maximal use of America's food
resources during wartime.[13] In its first year, the Academy attracted 58 members.[14] It remained
a small organization, remaining under the 1,000 member mark until the 1930s.[14] As the group's
scope expanded, so did its membership numbers. Between the 1930s and 1960s, membership
skyrocketed to more than 60,000.[14] Growth trajectory has since stabilized, and the Academy
marked its 70,000th member when a female dietitian in Texas rejoined the Academy in May 2009.
[14] Since its founding in 1917, the Academy has gained members in every decade.[14]
Current Seal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
An authorized seal for the organization was adopted by the Executive Board and presented to
members on October 24, 1940.[15] At its center are symbols of the three main characteristics of the
profession: a balance scale, representing science as the foundation and symbolizing equality; a
caduceus, representing the close relationship between dietetics and medicine; and a cooking vessel,
representing cookery and food preparation. Around the main design is a shaft of wheat, representing
bread, the staff of life, and stylized acanthus leaves, representing growth and life. Over the design is
a cornucopia, representing an abundant food supply. Beneath the design is the motto, Quam
Plurimis Prodesse ("To benefit as many as possible"). Around the edge is the name of the
organization and the date of its founding written in Roman numerals.
The seal is still in use on Registration Status Certificates for both registered dietitians and dietetic
technicians, registered, as well as on the gold Member Pin.
According to current Academy president Sylvia Escott Stump, the group changed their name to the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in 2012 to reflect the scientific and academic expertise of its
members.[16]
Certification
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics certification process offers two career options: Registered
Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Nutrition and Dietetics Technician, Registered (NDTR). Both are
educated nutrition professionals qualified to work in hospitals, academia and private practice, and
differ mostly in the hours of training and level of college degree required. A Registered Dietitian
Nutritionist must complete a bachelor's degree or higher and more than 900 hours of training, while
a Dietetic Technician is required to complete and associate level degree and 450 hours of training.
[40] About 72% of the Academy's members are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, and 2% are
Nutrition Dietetic Technicians, Registered.[8] Members are granted these accredited titles by
fulfilling the Academy's strenuous certification requirements in addition to any state or local
regulations. Through its ADAF foundation, the Academy issued nearly $500,000 in certification
scholarships in 2011, $100,000 of which went to doctoral students.[18]
The terms “Registered Dietitian Nutritionist” and “Nutrition Dietetic Technician, Registered” are
“legally protected titles” and can be used only by someone who has completed coursework
approved by the Academy.[41] In recent years, the AND has lobbied for stricter regulation over the
professional licensing of dietitian and nutrition professionals and supported state regulations that
would include heavy fines for the dispensing of nutritional advice without the proper license.[42]
[43]
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics's Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and
Dietetics (ACEND) is the organization's accrediting agency for education programs that prepare
individuals for careers as dietetics professionals. Prior to 2011,[disputed (for: happening in 2013?)
– discuss] ACEND was known as the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education
(CADE).[44] The Accreditation Council is recognized by the Department of Education and is a
member of the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors. The council's fees earn the
Academy over $1 million per year.[45]
Awards
The Academy gives several awards, of which the highest is the Marjorie Hulsizer Copher Award,
named for American dietitian Marjorie Hulsizer Copher (1892-1935) and given annually since 1945
to a member who "has contributed to the profession through extensive, active participation and
service to the profession of nutrition and dietetics, both within and outside of the Academy".[50]
Other awards include the Lenna Frances Cooper Memorial Lecture Award, named for American
dietitian Lenna Frances Cooper and given to " a notable and inspiring speaker" who presents the
memorial lecture.[51]
Controversy
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has been criticized for its connections to the
pharmaceutical industry, including an inquiry from Senator Chuck Grassley.[57][58]
In 1982, the organization faced mass resignations from members over a decision to support
President Ronald Reagan's cuts in food stamps and school lunch programs.[39] The decision was
largely a political trade-off; the Reagan administration agreed to drop its proposal to deregulate
nursing homes in exchange for the Academy's support of the school lunch and food stamp cuts.[39]
Additional publications
The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (JAND),[78] formerly titled the Journal of
the American Dietetic Association (JADA), is a monthly peer-reviewed publication involved in the
dietetics field, with original research, critical reviews, and reports on dietetics and human nutrition.

May 5, 1985. "And they want to make it illegal for individuals to offer nutrition advice
without proper credentials [...] According to Catherine Babington, director of government
affairs of the American Dietetic Association, dietitians in 36 states are pursuing mandatory
licensure, although details of the proposed laws vary from state to state. A bill awaits the
governor's signature in Maryland, while dietetic associations in Virginia and the District of
Columbia are in the beginning stages of drafting such bills. [...] Opponents such as the
National Health Federation, chaired by Donsbach, and the National Nutritional Foods
Association, which represents more than 3,500 health food stores, contend that highly
restrictive bills could create a monopoly for one school of traditional nutrition thought,
limiting the free market and consumer choice, and that their primary intent is not to protect
the public, but to give clout and recognition to a single segment of dietitians, increasing their
chances of obtaining reimbursement from insurance companies."
