What Our Members Have To Say

I am a member of NE DPG because after being a small business owner for 5 years and then becoming a second career dietitian student…I wanted to get reconnected with entrepreneurial like-minded individuals as I pursue my future as an RD. Chere, Dr. Penny, Barbara and Linda were all so gracious to meet me for dinner in Nashville last year and that pretty much kicked of my membership in the Academy…what a GREAT way to jumpstart a second career dietetic students path!

I love being involved in NE because it has helped me transition into self-employment while still feeling like I have “coworkers.” The group of individuals in this committee are so warm, welcoming and helpful! I feel like I’m a part of something – which is huge in private practice! Chere, Dr. Penny, Barbara and Linda were all so gracious to meet me for dinner in Nashville last year and that pretty much kicked of my membership in the Academy…what a GREAT way to jumpstart a second career dietetic students path!

Quickly here’s what comes to mind for me: I work in a vacuum (all by myself) and NE has opened up my world to colleagues who are willing to share and help each other.The benefits of membership outweighs the cost (especially at less than 10 cents a day). As an entrepreneurial RDN in private practice NE is THE DPG! It has been immensely helpful in my practice. I love, love, love my fellow NEers. They are creative and innovative thinking nutrition entrepreneurs and it rub offs.I have met amazing colleagues with whom I have made life long friendships.

Being a member of NE is like having thousands of amazing colleagues just an email away!

I have been a member of NE since the 1980s and had the privilege of serving on the executive committee. I highly recommend this fabulous DPG to all RDNs because its members come from all areas in the field of nutrition. I’ve worked in many different areas over my 30+ year career and I always find the information shared in the Ventures newsletter and in the NE meetings and sessions at FNCE to be both inspirational and practical. You don’t have to own a business to benefit from NE membership. If you want to stay on the cutting edge of nutrition, stay motivated and inspired, then the NE DPG is for you!

I am a member of NE because it curbs the loneliness that comes with being a solo nutrition entrepreneur. I have met many new friends via NE, both in person, as well as online. Plus, I appreciate the wealth of collected knowledge in this amazing group. Someone always has an answer to any question I might have!
