President’s Page: The Strategic Plan: The vision

In our vision, the members of the Association are recognized by the public, government, industry, and allied professions as the experts on food and nutrition as they relate to the quality of life. There is increased demand for the services of dietetic professionals. Expanded career opportunities and increased salaries for researchers, educators, and practitioners exist at all levels. Registered dietitians are widely accepted as the source of guidance about foods, nutrition, and well-being throughout life. A membership made up of persons with different skills and interests is empowered to promote the public welfare and their own careers (1).
