Message from the President
It is with mixed emotions that I write this final president's message. Ih ave enjoyed the last two years as your President and cannot believe how fast they went by. I sincerely appreciate all of the support and encouragement each of you provided as the SADA Board and I worked to make this the best professional organization for you, our members. I have gained a greater appreciation for our professional field, volunteerism and leadership. As I mention in each message, your active participation in SADA will keep it strong and successful. Volunteering on the SADA Board and committees is incredibly rewarding professionally and personally. I am looking forward to finishing up my term as Past President and serving as TDAF Secretary.
Back to business: As part of my final responsibilities, I get to announce some exciting news! The SADA Executive Board voted unanimously to change our name to include the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The details have not been worked out, so stay tuned to the updates from the incoming board as we
work through this transition. We will need your input!
I also have the pleasure of handing over the reins to a very energetic and competent board. Please read through the newsletter and get to know your new 2012-2013 Board. They are eager to start working on the agenda for the upcoming membership year. Next year is a legislative year so be prepared to get involved. You can get an early start by making contact with your local legislators over the summer and by participating in our volunteer event in June.
With the upcoming year in mind, it is time to renew your SADA membership. Membership benefits for the 2011-2012 year will end, including email updates and access to the members only section of the website. Join online now via paypal, at the upcoming SADA meeting or send in your application by mail.
I want to thank the 2010-2012 Boards for all of your talent and support. Each of your contributions has elevated SADA to its current status. We are definitely being noticed by TDA and our fellow district associations. TDA honored SADA in this month's member spotlight for our hard work and involvement with the Por Vida project. As SADA continues to be involved in
similar projects, our recognition will increase.
I wish the new board much luck and cannot wait to see what you have in store next year! Have a great summer!
Sincerely,
Rayna Wooten, MS, RD, LD
SADA President 2010-2012
