    Welcome to a new
    Charleston Trident Die-
    tetic Association member-
    ship year! I want to start
    by saying I am honored to
    serve as your 2014-2015
    CTDA President. Each
    year, the board works
    very hard at developing
    events and activities that
    our members will enjoy.
    This year, we are looking
    forward to planning an-
    other fun and eventful
    year. Last year was filled
    with great CEU opportu-
    nities and community
    volunteer events which
    allowed us to demon-
    strate our expertise in the
    community while also
    giving back. We look to
    continue to provide inter-
    esting and creative CEU
    opportunities and contin-
    ue the partnerships weve
    developed within the com-
    munity this year.
    Although we get feed-
    back throughout the year,
    we strongly encourage
    everyone to complete the
    membership survey at
    the end of each year. The
    membership survey is a
    valuable tool to provide
    suggestions on how we
    can better meet the
    changing needs of our
    members. The 2013-2014
    membership year survey
    results were reviewed by
    the board and are the ba-
    sis for planning the year
    to come. In the survey
    responses, members stat-
    ed their favorite benefit is
    networking with fellow
    dietitians. What better
    way to do this than at our
    membership kick off so-
    cial at Bohemian Bull on
    Wednesday, September
    24
    th
    . You also told us
    there is interest in social
    media and cooking
    demonstrations. The edu-
    cation chairs are working
    diligently to develop ac-
    tivities for both topics.
    More details on these ac-
    tivities as well as other
    events will be communi-
    cated as the year pro-
    gresses. In the past few
    years, book club partici-
    pation has been small.
    This year we hope to in-
    crease participation by
    providing CEUs for book
    clubs. This will double
    the number of CEU op-
    portunities members will
    have throughout the year.
    What a valuable benefit
    addition!
    We are committed to
    continue our involvement
    in the community this
    year by partnerships with
    Cooking Matters, Low
    Country Food Bank, Lou-
    ies Kids, Habitat for Hu-
    manity, and Junior Girls
    Day Out. If you are inter-
    ested in volunteering for
    one of these events or
    have a community group
    that would like to partner
    with CTDA, please con-
    tact our Community Out-
    reach Leader, Brooke
    Jackson.
    We continue to
    improve and adapt our
    member benefits each
    year. Feedback doesnt
    have to wait till the end
    of year survey! Feel free
    to contact me at any time
    with suggestions or con-
    cerns. You can contact me
    directly at rebeccaeastep-
    [email protected]
    Sincerely,
    Rebecca Fuller
