Upcoming Events
Happy New Year, SVAND!
It has been great to catch up with old friends and colleagues and meet our new members so far. We had a great turnout, not only for our fall social, but for our two fall meetings as well! If you weren’t able to make it to the Joint MRADE / SVAND meeting last month, the recording of Janice MacLeod’s presentation on the 2019 ADA Nutrition Consensus Statement is available for purchase here and is approved for 2 CPEUs. I would encourage you to check out this wonderful, knowledgeable speaker!
Your 2019-2020 Board has been hard at work planning events for the rest of the year and we’re excited to share them with you. We’d like to start the new year off by hosting a Journal Club Brunch at 419 West in Roanoke on Sunday, January 19th at 11 am. This event is approved for 1 CPEU and is FREE to SVAND members. Click here for the article we will be discussing and for further details.
February and March are shaping up to be busy months for SVAND as well with Legislative Day in Richmond (February 19th) and the 91st Annual Meeting in Virginia Beach (March 15-16th). In addition to these state affiliate events, SVAND will be hosting a Wine Wednesday Social and Legislative Day Recap at Whitebarrel Wine and Tapas Bar on Februrary 26th and a networking event the first evening of the VAND Meeting on March 15th. We also have a special event planned for RDN Day on March 11th, so be on the lookout for emails soon with more details!
Our Spring Meeting planning is underway, but please feel free to contact me if there are any topics that you would like to see included in future meetings. If you're interested in joining the board, we are currently accepting nominations for President-Elect and Student Liaison (Virginia Tech). If you’d like to volunteer to help with an event, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
I’m looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
We Achieve Excellence Together!
