Member Spotlight: Lisa Laprade
A decision to follow a vegetarian diet as a teenager originally sparked my interest in nutrition. Pursuing a healthy balance in my own diet, I soon realized I wanted to help others do the same.
Festival of Trees
Please stop by to view our tree at the Festival of Trees at Tower Square in Downtown Springfield, and thank you to all who donated ornaments or gifts to this project.
Stay Current! A message from the WAMDA President
In the current climate of our changing healthcare landscape, it is more important than ever to come together with a united voice to speak on the importance of Registered Dietitians and Diet Technicians and our role in promoting optimal health.
Can you help us trim our tree?
Beginning November 21st, WAMDA will again be participating in the "Festival of Trees" - a fund raiser to benefit the Springfield Boys & Girls Club. Our tree will be decorated with a Cooking & Baking theme, with a chef's hat on top. We are looking for donations of gifts, gift cards, ornaments and cooking utensils that we may put on or under the tree.
