Welcome to the Iowa Dietetic Association, Iowa’s food and nutrition experts. The Iowa Dietetic Association is a nonprofit professional organization and affiliate of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Our association is comprised of a diverse group of food and nutrition professionals working to optimize the health of Iowan’s through food and nutrition. Members of the Iowa Dietetic Association are a dedicated group of volunteer leaders continuously working to advance the role of registered dietitians.

These volunteer leaders enhance our organization through several approaches including:

• Organizing a two day annual meeting to enhance our knowledge and skills, organized and
planned by Iowa Dietetic Association volunteer leaders.
• Legislative activities and trainings to develop our advocacy and public policy skills led and
organized by Iowa Dietetic Association volunteer leaders.
• Quarterly newsletters to provide members with relevant updates; written, organized and edited
by Iowa Dietetic Association volunteer leaders.
• Scholarships for students and interns to provide additional resources for education and growth
allowing for student members to become future Iowa Dietetic Association volunteer leaders.
• The Simplified Diet Manual which provides science based guidance for nutrition planning
written, developed, and edited by Iowa Dietetic Association volunteer leaders.

The list provided here is a very short representation of all of the work completed by our volunteer leaders and I know that the coming year will result in many more amazing accomplishments. Please take the time to learn more about our organization by checking out this website, following us on Twitter or looking us up on Facebook.
