| The Academy’s Legislative and Public Policy Committee conducted an environmental scan to inform the development of the updated policy goals. In addition to considering the legislative and regulatory landscape at the state and federal levels, internal groups including Dietetic Practice and Member Interest Groups, committees, and organizational units were encouraged to offer policy considerations as part of regularly scheduled convenings. Academy members provided input throughout the development process including during monthly advocacy affinity group meetings and House of Delegate listening sessions. Following review and feedback from the LPPC, the priorities were recently approved by the Academy’s Board of Directors.
Academy members interested in adding their support to these efforts are encouraged to join the Advocacy Affinity Groups, which are monthly forum-based events where staff, policy leaders and members connect to discuss advocacy priorities and strategies. |
