Hello San Diego District! I hope everyone is navigating the holiday season with as much ease as possible. The board has been making plans for this year’s events, so be sure to check the Linkage for news about upcoming activities and other announcements over the coming year.
As we’ve already started off the new district year strong, we’ve had so many fun events like Hoppy Yoga, our Membership Drive, and our new journal club. Plus stay tuned for upcoming educational events like our one on Coffee this month! If you have friends, colleagues or know other RDs who are not members, please invite them to join! We have one of the most active districts in the state and the education committee has some fun upcoming events planned that appeal to professionals in all areas of dietetics practice. And be sure to join us for our social events (of course filled with delicious treats and wine)—we’re a lot of fun to spend time with!
I hope to see all of you at our upcoming education events in October and beyond (details on our website and linkage). It is always a lot of fun and a great time to get to know our new members!
All the best,
Jaclyn Kirschen, MS, RD
SDD President 2021-2022
