Greetings Florida Academy!
I am honored and excited to serve as your 2024-2025 Florida Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (FAND) president! The theme for this year is Innovate, Collaborate, and Elevate. As we look ahead to the coming year, I look forward to embracing opportunities for innovation, fostering a spirit of collaboration among all of us, and striving for excellence in all that this organization does. I truly believe that everyone’s voice matters. Therefore, I am committed to ensuring that all our members have their voices heard and feel integral to FAND.
Another key focus area for FAND this year is continuing to offer various enriching learning opportunities to our members. Thanks to our leadership last year, we were able to host a mini-symposium, several different webinars, and our first in-person FANS since 2019. I look forward to continuing and building on these traditions with even more exciting and enriching events. FANS 2024 was a big success, and I can’t wait to see you again in Orlando this April!
As the future of healthcare and nutrition continues to evolve, it’s imperative that we are on the front lines advocating for access to nutrition care for all Floridians. We have seen changes related to licensure and reimbursement, and we will continue to stay abreast of and remain actively involved with these issues. Together, we will continue to support FAND’s vision to inspire and unite Florida nutrition and dietetics professionals in advancing optimal nutrition care and food accessibility statewide.
Thank you for your support and trust. I look forward to working with you and seeing what we can achieve together!
Jen Ross, DCN, RD, LD/N, FAND
2024-25 FAND President
