Why dietitians join DC

I have been a member since I was a nutrition student in the early 1990’s. Advancing the dietetic profession is important to me. I have strived to give back by becoming involved with DC, and while there have been some ups and downs, I feel DC is helping to position dietitians as the credible voice for nutrition issues. I highly recommend DC membership and getting involved with DC. As the old adage goes, the more you give, the more you get!
- Carol Clarke, MHSc, RD
I have been a DC member for over 20 years. I have especially benefited from the Diabetes, Obesity and Cardiovascular network. The weekly and monthly communications keep me up to date with research in my field, along with information about conferences and upcoming events, is invaluable to me.
- Audrey Shackleton, RD, CDE
DC is a space where we as members can have an impact on regional, provincial and national change. It is a space where we can learn from each other's unique niches and skills. Volunteering with DC has given me the privilege to speak on behalf of working groups of dietitians and to advocate for well-being and healthier lives in Canada.
