Please help The Richmond Dietetic Association celebrate 85 years by becoming an RDA member for 2010-2011!  With an RDA membership of $25, you have the chance to give and receive.

With your RDA membership, you receive reduced prices to attend RDA meetings for CPE credit.  You have opportunities for networking with others in our profession and leadership opportunities within our association. 

Also with your RDA membership, you are giving to an organization that provides scholarships to students planning to become RD’s.  You are supporting an organization that helps the Central Virginia Food Bank, either through on-site volunteering or through our annual “Wine and Shine” fundraising event.  And, you are giving to an organization that represents our profession in the community at conferences, health fairs and expo’s, such as the Anthem Health and Fitness Expo before the Monument Avenue 10K.

Please pay your RDA dues by August 31 so that our membership chairman, Tarren Corbin, can update our records and we can include you in future notifications.

We, as  registered  dietitians, make  differences  in the lives  of  others  by  what  we do. 
Our expertise as the recognized professionals in food and nutrition is needed now more than ever before.  Please join The Richmond Dietetic Association, and be part of the organization that represents and advocates for our profession in Richmond.

Sincerely,

Martha M. Campbell, MA, RD
President, The Richmond Dietetic Association
