What is the IDEA committee?
The CT Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics IDEA Committee’s mission is to promote and raise awareness of removing obstacles in Dietetics by embracing inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) principles. The Academy recognizes and respects differences in ability, age, creed, culture, education, ethnicity and race, gender, gender identity, geographic region, language, lived experiences, mental health, military experience, national origin, physical appearance, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic characteristics, values, work experiences and all types of diversity in the nutrition and dietetics profession.What are we doing?
*Applying for the IDEA Grants *Inclusion Corner – The “Inclusion Corner” offers a bi-monthly forum for marginalized dietetic students and professionals to share experiences and discuss challenges. Over six months, participants can explore topics like barriers, advocacy, and diversity. There will also be a session that welcomes those outside marginalized groups who want to understand and support diversity in the field. The corner fosters empathy and allyship within the dietetic community through open dialogue. This will be starting in 2025. *IDEA Members Survey – Coming soon.How to Join!
