08/06/2020 - The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics thanks U.S. Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Gary Peters (Mich.) for their commitment to America’s health and their introduction of the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act.

The Academy continues to advance efforts organization-wide to address diversity, equity and inclusion. The Board of Directors empowered the Diversity and Inclusion Committee to make recommendations to support this important work.

The Diversity and Inclusion Committee has been working intensively to listen to members and has adjusted its plan of work accordingly.

The renewal determination takes effect on July 25, 2020 and runs through October 23, 2020.

With the release of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's Scientific Report, the Academy held a listening session to share details of the Academy's review and comment submission process.

The Academy's Board of Directors determined that the 2020 FNCE®, scheduled for October 17 to 20 in Indianapolis, Ind., will transition to a virtual event experience, to be held on the same dates.
