Re: ADA now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics - YES we did have a voice

September 25, 2011

We were asked for input over a year ago. Last year FNCE had a room with posted

suggestions and requested us to rank those on the list AND provide other

ideas.Â Many of the top choices were already in use (and would require

litigation cost/time for the organization to own).

Â

There are many professional organizations using " Academy " (i.e. Academy of

Pediatrics).Â As for individual states, time frame to change is probably not

critical, " State Name Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics " or " Academy of Nutrition

& Dietetics, State Name " doesn't sound too terrible.Â

Â

Some folks just need time when there is a big change. I'm on the band wagon in

favor of including " Nutrition " in our organization's name (and removing American

since we have international membership).

So only FNCE attendees could vote. That's not good also. Many, like me, were not

in FNCE.FNCE could have been one platform to use, which they did, but not the

We were asked for input over a year ago. Last year FNCE had a room with

posted suggestions and requested us to rank those on the list AND provide other

ideas. Many of the top choices were already in use (and would require

litigation cost/time for the organization to own).

There are many professional organizations using " Academy " (i.e. Academy of

Pediatrics). As for individual states, time frame to change is probably not

critical, " State Name Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics " or " Academy of Nutrition

& Dietetics, State Name " doesn't sound too terrible.

Some folks just need time when there is a big change. I'm on the band wagon in

favor of including " Nutrition " in our organization's name (and removing American

since we have international membership).

I was at FNCE in Boston and didn't see the booth, my bad: but FNCE in Boston was

chaos; not sure if it was the poor location of the convention center, bad

We were asked for input over a year ago. Last year FNCE had a room with posted

suggestions and requested us to rank those on the list AND provide other ideas.

Many of the top choices were already in use (and would require litigation

cost/time for the organization to own).

There are many professional organizations using " Academy " (i.e. Academy of

Pediatrics). As for individual states, time frame to change is probably not

critical, " State Name Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics " or " Academy of Nutrition

& Dietetics, State Name " doesn't sound too terrible.

Some folks just need time when there is a big change. I'm on the band wagon in

favor of including " Nutrition " in our organization's name (and removing American

since we have international membership).

part of the decision. This 'change' is a little too autocratic for me. no vote

from the membership? And what was all that concern when the dietary managers

don't think a unilateral change to academy is appropriate. What about the

not in FNCE.FNCE could have been one platform to use, which they did, but

We were asked for input over a year ago. Last year FNCE had a room with posted

suggestions and requested us to rank those on the list AND provide other ideas.

Many of the top choices were already in use (and would require litigation

cost/time for the organization to own).

There are many professional organizations using " Academy " (i.e. Academy of

Pediatrics). As for individual states, time frame to change is probably not

critical, " State Name Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics " or " Academy of Nutrition

& Dietetics, State Name " doesn't sound too terrible.

Some folks just need time when there is a big change. I'm on the band wagon in

favor of including " Nutrition " in our organization's name (and removing American

since we have international membership).

>> Whether planning nutritious meals for children in day-care centers or

>> schools, teaching individuals with diabetes about managing their blood sugar

or

>> saving lives with complex nutritional interventions after surgery,

>> registered dietitians are the best-qualified providers. The name change

>>

>> Thus, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics quickly and accurately

>> The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the right name. And this is

>>

>> Our award-winning website will remain _www.eatright.org_

>> (http://mailer.eatright.org/t/9577/2648593/248/0/) . The colorful Eat Right

logo will stay a

>> part of the organizationâs graphic identity. Eat Right is our most

>> powerful message and it aligns strategically with the Academy of Nutrition

and

>> Dietetics.

>>

>> The ADA Foundation Board of Directors voted earlier this month to change

>> its name to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation.

>>

>> I hope you will agree with me that the name âAmerican Dietetic Associationâ

>> served us well for nearly 100 years. Now, let us draw upon the strengths

>> and values that have defined us since 1917, be aware of the huge

>> opportunities that await us and go forward to demonstrate what it means to be

a

>> member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

>>

>> We owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve.

>>

>> Thank you very much.
