Diversity
The Ohio Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) by striving to recognize, respect, and include differences in ability, age, creed, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, size, and socioeconomic characteristics in the nutrition and dietetics profession. Our goal is to foster participation of all roles in nutrition and dietetics including students, interns, dietetic technicians, and dietitians. With a focus on inclusion and opportunities for all practitioners, including but not limited to advocacy, clinical, community, culinary, education, entrepreneurial, food science, management, marketing, private practice, research, and sustainability.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Mission
To advance the quality of life for our customers, clients, students, and colleagues through our fair and equitable practices, diverse membership, and reputable dietetic professionals.
Academy Diversity Grant Opportunities
In accordance with the Academy's strategic vision and mission, the Diversity Leaders Program supports Active members from underrepresented groups within the nutrition and dietetics profession. Four leaders are selected to participate in a two-year leadership program and are provided mentorship, leadership training and networking.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Diversity Mini-Grants provide $100 - $1,000 grants to support Academy affiliate, dietetic practice group (DPG) and member interest group (MIG) outreach to students and professionals from underrepresented groups within the nutrition and dietetics profession.
