Inside this issue

Welcome back Charleston-area nutri-

tion professionals to another great CTDA

year! This year you are lucky to have two

CTDA presidential alumni, Sara and Nina,

sharing the year as your co-presidents as we

just couldn't stay away! We are looking for-

ward to working with a great team, and es-

pecially getting Melissa ready to be presi-

dent next year! Our board is a fabulous mix

of RDs from across the area and across the

spectrum and we hope to plan several great

events to get you inspired this year. Based

on the feedback from the annual member-

ship survey, we have made some changes

(like no T-shirts this year), and have taken

your preferences for days and locations for

events seriously! We have heard you enjoy

the socials, so we are planning a spring/new

year social in addition to our annual fall so-

cial. We are also talking about doing more

skill-based events like one on communication

skills, sales/marketing skills, and even me-

dia/presenting skills, so stay tuned for how

these ideas unfold! We will also continue the

tradition of doing community service with a

holiday event giving back to the community,

and others as they come up. We will continue

to offer the book clubs based on popular

press books in a more intimate setting to get

to know each other. Plan for another great

food day and RD day in the spring as well!

Join us on our journey this year as we sharp-

en our skills and fine tune our practice!
