RE: Re: ADA now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics?

[Guest guest]

What we do professionally has nothing to do with anything except nutrition. I

can’t see any other name for us. And, since CDM appropriate the nutrition word

I think we had to put our claim on it too. That’s just my personal opinion on

it.

What I don't get is that if there is such a push at the state level to

distinguish between dietitians and nutritionists, why does " nutrition " even

need to be in the name of the organization?

[Guest guest]

Well, I did comment yesterday that it should been ADN instead of AND.

As Digna stated, the name of my professional organization does not define the

professional I am.

Listen, we can debate this until the cows come home. Quickly, it is what it is.

I don't have the time or fortitude to debate what is what it is. The decision

has been made, debating it won't change it.

Be patient with my typing, I am replying on my Blackberry.

Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

One only needs ADA/AND approval for DPGs within ADA/AND. If one wants to form an

association, the process (involved and not easy) has nothing to do with ADA/AND,

Well, I did comment yesterday that it should been ADN instead of AND.

As Digna stated, the name of my professional organization does not define the

professional I am.

Listen, we can debate this until the cows come home. Quickly, it is what it is.

I don't have the time or fortitude to debate what is what it is. The decision

has been made, debating it won't change it.

Be patient with my typing, I am replying on my Blackberry.

Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

One only needs ADA/AND approval for DPGs within ADA/AND. If one wants to form an

association, the process (involved and not easy) has nothing to do with ADA/AND,

just as the DMA, now nutrition and food service professionals did not need ADA

(not AND at the time) to approve. Licensing does not need ADA/AND approval but

as an association provided support and comments. And,(not AND) does not approve

this particular EML. So far no one who belongs to DHCC has chosen to comment yet

but that is the EML that ADA/AND has some control over as a moderator.

I'll be surprised.... after all all suplies now read ADA not AND so you'll have

hope you are right, but days will tell if logo will be changed etc.

OK, so here it is, We're members of AND, read the JAND, and will no longer

Re: Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

Tried to get this started a few years back. First there are several

small groups of dietitians out there that are not associated with ADA. I

believe the Pediatric Dietetic group in Washington or Oregon is not

associated with ADA THe next barrier is to get CDR to recognize the group.

It would not do to have the CDR say we will not register you if you are a

member of XYZ. Believe me it could happen. Personally I like the Medical

Nutrition Therapist of America, but that is just me. It is time consuming

but not really overly hard to start and organization. The government has

lots of info on how to do it.

Very interesting and sad that ADA panics and reacted to another org name change.

Again, if ADA would have bothered to just up the PR and make sure the public

recognizes us as the Food, Nutrition and Dietetics specialists, CDMs would have

had a bigger problem: Realizing they have a meaningless name for their org. But

instead, we are now stuck in " limbo " . We weren't even born yet, in the eyes of

the public, but we were given a new name already. Soon we will become the " and "

not the " A " " N " " D " ...hopefully that wold not be the E-N-D

Subject: Re: Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

I've heard about the name change off and on. Right after Labor day 40

RDs from 40 affiliates around the country gathered in Pittsburgh for

some specialized train the trainer sessions for a day and a half on

licensure issues, sponsored by ADA/CDR Then we attended sessions of the

CLEAR conference ( Council on Licensing and Regulation) for 2 days

ADA's name change was in the unofficial buzz among participants and many

were expecting an announcement at FNCE. The turnout from the states was

good for a conference that was only announced in June. it was

disappointing not to have all 50 states represented. Networking was

excellent.

Here's my take on the timing, as I explained to another e list whose

members may not have worked with CDMs:

I believe a BIG part of this name change is a reaction to the

announcement earlier from DMA The Dietary Manager's Association (

14,000 members) http://www.dmaonline.org/ to become the Association of

Nutrition and Food Service Professionals effective Jan 1, 2012.

Their members did vote on the name change. Although DMA has an RD on

staff and is also in Chicago ADA staff apparently didn't hear of the

proposed change until the members were already voting about it on

line.The rub for ADA is that the minimum academic credential to take the

90 hour course to become a CDM is only a GED and CDMs for the most part

consider themselves dedicated food service experts but hardly nutrition

professionals. These people are the backbone of food service operations

especially in nursing homes and of course work under RDs who are

responsible for clinical decisions. And yes there are and continue to

be cases where administrators give more responsibility to CDMs than

their training allows to reduce RD hours.

ADA did react in a letter to DMA as the voting was going on.

I wonder how long AND will retain the " formerly the American Dietetic

Association " tagline.

I've heard about the name change off and on. Right after Labor day 40

RDs from 40 affiliates around the country gathered in Pittsburgh for

some specialized train the trainer sessions for a day and a half on

licensure issues, sponsored by ADA/CDR Then we attended sessions of the

CLEAR conference ( Council on Licensing and Regulation) for 2 days

ADA's name change was in the unofficial buzz among participants and many

were expecting an announcement at FNCE. The turnout from the states was

good for a conference that was only announced in June. it was

disappointing not to have all 50 states represented. Networking was

excellent.

Here's my take on the timing, as I explained to another e list whose

members may not have worked with CDMs:

I believe a BIG part of this name change is a reaction to the

announcement earlier from DMA The Dietary Manager's Association (

14,000 members) http://www.dmaonline.org/ to become the Association of

Nutrition and Food Service Professionals effective Jan 1, 2012.

Their members did vote on the name change. Although DMA has an RD on

staff and is also in Chicago ADA staff apparently didn't hear of the

proposed change until the members were already voting about it on

line.The rub for ADA is that the minimum academic credential to take the

90 hour course to become a CDM is only a GED and CDMs for the most part

consider themselves dedicated food service experts but hardly nutrition

professionals. These people are the backbone of food service operations

especially in nursing homes and of course work under RDs who are

responsible for clinical decisions. And yes there are and continue to

be cases where administrators give more responsibility to CDMs than

their training allows to reduce RD hours.

ADA did react in a letter to DMA as the voting was going on.

I wonder how long AND will retain the " formerly the American Dietetic

Association " tagline.

Very interesting and sad that ADA panics and reacted to another org name change.

Again, if ADA would have bothered to just up the PR and make sure the public

recognizes us as the Food, Nutrition and Dietetics specialists, CDMs would have

had a bigger problem: Realizing they have a meaningless name for their org. But

instead, we are now stuck in " limbo " . We weren't even born yet, in the eyes of

the public, but we were given a new name already. Soon we will become the " and "

not the " A " " N " " D " ...hopefully that wold not be the E-N-D

Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

hi, Jan,

I wondered who would be first to respond. Makes me uneasy that members weren't

part of the decision. This 'change' is a little too autocratic for me. no vote

from the membership? And what was all that concern when the dietary managers

voted to change the name of their 'association'? I wonder what this does to the

governance of the 'association'? I like including nutrition in the name but

don't think a unilateral change to academy is appropriate. What about the

Fellows of the American Dietetic Association, a designation no longer available.

ADA has to consider the situation for all affiliates. Some states

states license or certify nutritionists. Some license or certify

dietitians. Some licenses and certifications are voluntary for various

reasons although protection for the public is potentially compromised

when this occurs. Looking at this link gives a good picture of the

spectrum of legal situations for RDs.

http://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/licensure/index.cfm. I'm fortunate

to be in a state with mandatory licensure, with exclusivity. To be a

Licensed Nutritionist one must be a Registered Dietitian.

[Guest guest]

ADA has to consider the situation for all affiliates. Some states

states license or certify nutritionists. Some license or certify

dietitians. Some licenses and certifications are voluntary for various

reasons although protection for the public is potentially compromised

when this occurs. Looking at this link gives a good picture of the

spectrum of legal situations for RDs.

http://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/licensure/index.cfm. I'm fortunate

to be in a state with mandatory licensure, with exclusivity. To be a

Licensed Nutritionist one must be a Registered Dietitian.

Digna, I do not question the proper English, for the reasons you mentioned. BUT,

most people will not think of it that way and if we want to speak to the public,

we better speak " public " . and every business owner will tell you that te name is

crucial for the business. YOu what a name that ppl can associate with, can

remember and get back to. I don't think Academy does that.I'll be happy to be

proven wrong.

English is both our second language. My husband believes it's a correct and

appropriate term. English is his first language and he has an excellent command

of all its intricacies, meanings and innuendoes.

Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

I don't imagine forming a new association is easy but googling " forming a

professional association " will bring you to a how to section and a guide to

planning and moving on it.

Digna, I disagree that the members voting on a name change would bring chaos. It

would be like changing the name of a country w/o consent of the citizens. The

idea of an association and democracy is to be self governing. For success, the

association and democracy is to build coalitions and support to move projects

and meet goals for members and communities. Definitely not easy; communication

is key.

no vote from the membership? And what was all that concern when the dietary

managers voted to change the name of their 'association'? I wonder what this

does to the governance of the 'association'? I like including nutrition in the

name but don't think a unilateral change to academy is appropriate. What about

the Fellows of the American Dietetic Association, a designation no longer

available. Do they become former FADAs? Raphaela

no vote from the membership? And what was all that concern when the dietary

managers voted to change the name of their 'association'? I wonder what this

does to the governance of the 'association'? I like including nutrition in the

name but don't think a unilateral change to academy is appropriate. What about

the Fellows of the American Dietetic Association, a designation no longer

available. Do they become former FADAs? Raphaela

Members voting on a name change does NOT bring chaos--our very well-grounded

church just did such in a very orderly, everyone involved way. Changed a name

that was previously held for generations. It took a year but the process

impressed me--suggestions from the membership (with prayerful consideration),

pastoral retreat and meetings, back to membership with the majority ideas, back

to pastoral processes, back to membership with a vote. In the end everyone was

happy with the result and felt secure in our leadership and organization. What

a contrast with ADA announcement.

What a shame. All that advertising that was finally reaching the public about

the credibility of the American Dietetic Association . . . how much more money

will have to be spent to reconnect with the public?

Re: ADA now the " Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics " ?

I don't imagine forming a new association is easy but googling " forming a

professional association " will bring you to a how to section and a guide to

planning and moving on it.

Digna, I disagree that the members voting on a name change would bring chaos.

It would be like changing the name of a country w/o consent of the citizens. The

idea of an association and democracy is to be self governing. For success, the

association and democracy is to build coalitions and support to move projects

and meet goals for members and communities. Definitely not easy; communication

is key.

Well, this one made me laugh outloud bc bw the two of us including both

acronyms I've managed to lose track of the message. I guess we can just use

the one we're comfortable with for now until we get used to the new one and

switch. Using both has my head swimming in circles.

Are you saying no other DPG is under the ADA auspices at this time? Not NE?

none? Hmmm, I thought there were more for some reason. I'll have to go look

them up and see for myself bc truthfully I haven't. But when I complete my

annual dues form there seems to be an endless list of them to chose from.

One only needs ADA/AND approval for DPGs within ADA/AND. If one wants to

form an association, the process (involved and not easy) has nothing to do

with ADA/AND, just as the DMA, now nutrition and food service professionals

did not need ADA (not AND at the time) to approve. Licensing does not need

ADA/AND approval but as an association provided support and comments.

And,(not AND) does not approve this particular EML. So far no one who

belongs to DHCC has chosen to comment yet but that is the EML that ADA/AND

has some control over as a moderator.

well, it won't be misleading if both " nutritionists " and Dietitians will be RDs,

but that will take not only national recognition but a state-by-state license.

no vote from the membership? And what was all that concern when the dietary

managers voted to change the name of their 'association'? I wonder what this

does to the governance of the 'association'? I like including nutrition in the

name but don't think a unilateral change to academy is appropriate. What about

the Fellows of the American Dietetic Association, a designation no longer

ADA has to consider the situation for all affiliates. Some states

states license or certify nutritionists. Some license or certify

dietitians. Some licenses and certifications are voluntary for various

reasons although protection for the public is potentially compromised

when this occurs. Looking at this link gives a good picture of the

spectrum of legal situations for RDs.

http://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/licensure/index.cfm. I'm fortunate

to be in a state with mandatory licensure, with exclusivity. To be a

Licensed Nutritionist one must be a Registered Dietitian.
