Testimonials

Each person on the board has unique strengths, which work synergistically. These combined strengths help to further enhance the work the board does, and to challenge us to think creatively and outside-of-the-box.

My problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork skills have been put into high gear. I contributed to meaningful discussions that will shape the future of dietetics. If you're thinking about putting your name forward – go for it!
- Melissa Baker MHSc, RD (past Director, Student/New Professionals)
Every step has been a learning experience and I have gained many insights, especially in terms of governance and engagement with members. On a personal level, being on the Board has enabled me to work with colleagues from across Canada and form new friendships.
- Judy Sheeshka, PhD, RD (Past Chair)
Serving as a Board Director has been a very rewarding experience. Engaging in the mission of the organization and contributing to paving its future as well as the future of the profession was the chance of a lifetime.
