Kelly Siverhus: “Receiving MAND’s ANCE award for Outstanding Dietetic Intern was an incredible honor, one that I am considerably proud of to this day. The dietetic internship presents its fair share of challenges. This award gave me a reason to feel confident and secure in my abilities, as I made the transition from intern to dietitian. In fact, I am certain it benefited my job search as I am now happily employed as a Clinical Inpatient Dietitian at a Level 1 Trauma Center back home in Wisconsin.”
Adrienne Hatch-McChesney: “Receiving the Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year award gave me a sense of accomplishment, belonging, and fulfillment early in my career that really contributed to propelling my motivation to continue down my career path. I was proud to share with my supervisor that the mission I work towards is recognized by other professionals in the field. I am very grateful to MAND for the recognition, and it is something I will continue to include on my resume throughout my career.”

Outstanding Dietetics Student
Emerging Dietetic Leader
Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year

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!
