President's Welcome
Message from Outgoing MAND President, Sangeeta Pradhan
Hello RD and NDTR friends,
As my term as President draws to a close, I am filled with an immense sense of gratitude to be given the incredible honor of serving as your President. I ask for your indulgence as I share a few parting words with you.
Everything about food and nutrition inspires and energizes me. Do you feel the same way? This innocuous entity called food holds the power to transform health, to be a game changer, and to arguably change the course of chronic disease. Which itself is awe-inspiring!
And RDs are uniquely positioned to be stewards of that change!
