Will You Invest in the Career Development of Other RDNs?

Dietitians in management and leadership positions need support, comradery, and guidance. MFNS has the resources and members to welcome and nurture RDN’s and NDTR’s that are new to leadership positions or aspiring to become managers during their career. Success and enjoyment of management positions is enhanced when a leader is supported, encouraged and provided networks with other leaders. Together we all grow!

How Would This Work?

  1. The MFNS member recruits another RDN or NDTR to join DPG 41, Management in Food and Nutrition Systems DPG. The recruit must be a current academy member.
  2. To join the DPG, the new member will pay the $35 membership fee, or $15 student fee, print or save the confirmation of payment and communicate the payment to the sponsoring member. 
  3. The sponsoring member will personally reimburse the new MFNS member.
