ANDPAC Hits the Affiliate Circuit: Are You Ready?

The Academy's Political Action Committee has hit the road, presenting at affiliate meetings across the country and speaking to members about the important role policy plays in dietetics.

At the Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas (MINK) meeting, nearly 500 members heard how policy affects their professional careers. Attendees learned the connection between policy and nutrition services and generously gave more than $700 to ANDPAC.

The Louisiana Dietetic Association got creative with its ANDPAC donation system and raffled prizes to members who contributed $5 or more. Louisiana turned its meeting into a public policy pep rally and raised $600 for ANDPAC.

ANDPAC Raises More Than $20,000 at PPW 2013

Members demonstrated record support for the Academy's Political Action Committee by donating nearly $21,000 at the 2013 Public Policy Workshop. Attendees were excited to learn that this is the largest contribution ANDPAC has received at any PPW.

Generous donations to ANDPAC help the Academy and our members forge relationships with members of Congress who influence health, food and nutrition policies. ANDPAC contributed greatly to PPW by bringing four members of Congress to speak to attendees about hunger, obesity and health care. (March 27, 2013)

 

If dietetics is your profession, policy should be your passion!
