The Public Policy Committee is a team of registered dietitians, dietetic interns, and students pursuing dietetics who lobby for policies that advance our profession, as well as those that promote the health and well-being of the general public. We focus on brainstorming proposals for legislation, tracking proposed legislation, promoting proposed legislation, communicating with legislators, and organizing lobby days in Albany and Washington DC. We coordinate with the national Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), as well as the New York State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (NYSAND).
