Member Spotlight: Melanie M. Wilk, RDN, LDN
"I have always been interested in nutrition and fitness as a hobby, until about 6 years ago when I realized I could make it a career. I immediately went back to school to pursue a nutrition degree."
A Message From Our President
"Now more than ever I encourage all members to get and stay involved with our many programs and activities. We have gone virtual, along with the rest of the world, to continue to try to provide our members with the programs of interest they have come to enjoy. We will continue to participate in community activities as much as we are able."
