TD10 — Today's Dietitian's Seventh Annual Showcase of 10 RDs Who Are Making a Difference
By Lindsey Getz
Today's Dietitian
Vol. 18 No. 3 P. 38
Becoming a dietitian is no small feat, but the journey is exciting and rewarding for many as they look forward to countless opportunities to counsel clients and patients in various health care settings; spread nutrition messages through public speaking, books, and social media; help stamp out hunger through charitable organizations; become a voice of sustainability and sustainable food systems; and become media spokespersons.
Most, if not all, RDs work hard in the field of dietetics, but there are those who do far and above what's expected of them. They're making a huge difference in their local communities, nationally, and even globally. Each year Today's Dietitian (TD) asks our readers to nominate colleagues and mentors they believe are going above and beyond their call of duty to make a positive impact in the dietetics field.
​In honor of National Nutrition Month® and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day, TD has chosen 10 outstanding dietitians who deserve recognition for their exceptional work in the field. Some of them are entrepreneurs, authors, and leaders in clinical care, foodservice, community nutrition, and sustainability. They're motivating employees to do their best work each day, offering nutrition education and counseling services to clients and patients locally and abroad, and providing healthful meals to food insecure and underserved populations. We hope you're inspired by their stories as much we are and will continue to do the amazing work you do in the nutrition profession.
