Bringing Our CA Borders Closer Together
CDA President, Lorri
Holzberg, has selected Bringing Our CA Borders Closer
Together as the theme for this year, 2010-2011. CA
has the largest number of ADA members (7006 as of
5.31.10, the end of last year), a long distance between
our northern and southern borders, and huge geographical
hurdles to overcome. Together we can overcome the
challenges and move our profession forward. But we
need all members actively involved!
How can YOU
get involved?
Join Your
Local District!
Visit the
Website for Updates.
Read e-mailed and posted
Information.
Contact the
Executive Board VPs to work on their Councils.
All of us are CDA and All of us are needed to
promote our profession and the Registered Dietitian as
the Link to Nutrition and Health!
