Are you attending virtual FNCE this year?
I will be completely honest, I miss the in-person FNCE event. I know these times have been challenging to make the decision to keep it virtual but it just isn't the same. I love the in-person meeting to see old friends, make new friends, learn, grow and re-establish my enthusiasm and joy for being a registered dietitian.
I am opting out this year but have been choosing to be present in my 20th year of being a dietitian by attending the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics conference in a couple of weeks, being a mentor and writing the second edition of "I'm a Registered Dietitian...Now What?" The mantra I am carrying with me until I can attend FNCE in person is "Dietitian ForwaRD."
What am I doing to moving our profession forward? How can I be a better dietitian for my clients but more for other registered dietitians? We can help thousands of clients in our daily lives through our jobs, helping them with their health and nutrition goals. But what are we doing to keep this profession thriving?
What are you doing?
If you are attending FNCE this year, I ask you to keep this in mind during the sessions you attend and the networking you do. Think of how you can make this profession be better, do better and stay relevant amongst all the "nutrition experts" in the world today. We are getting farther and farther away from getting a seat at the table, we need to every dietitian to make this a priority.
