ADA Announces First Member Interest Group

Last year, a new way for members with like interests to formally connect with ADA was introduced.  These groups are called Member Interest Groups or MIGs.  Member Interest Groups are groups within the American Dietetic Association that provide a means for dietetics professionals with common interests, issues, and backgrounds to connect.  Unlike Dietetic Practice Groups, Affiliate or District Associations, MIGs focus on areas other than practice or geographic location.  They can reflect characteristics of ADA's membership and the public it serves.  As recognized divisions of the national organization, MIGs support and promote the mission of the American Dietetic Association.

ADA is proud to announce the formation of the first MIG: LAHIDAN, Latinos and Hispanics in Dietetics and Nutrition.  LAHIDAN's purpose is to support member needs while fostering the development and improvement of food, nutrition and health care for Latinos and their families in the United 
States and related territories with outreach to Hispanic and Latino international members.  LAHIDAN's officers are Cecilia Pozo Fileti, MS RD FADA, Chair, Claudia Gonzalez, MS RD, Malena Perdomo, RD, Judith Rodriguez, PhD RD FADA, Carina Roe-Saez, RD LD CDE and Delia Solis, MS LD.  For more information or to contact LAHIDAN, visit: www.lahidan.org.  Membership opportunities are now available.  Bienvenidos!  

Please help us to congratulate and welcome LAHIDAN as our first Member Interest Group.  We look forward to working with them and wish them much success.
