A New Year for UAND and a New Strategic Plan

July 2nd, 2012

Thanks to Katie Davis, Strategic Planning Chair, for this update!

The Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Board had a productive annual retreat on June 15, 2012.  The retreat was an opportunity for incoming board members to become familiar with their new roles and to plan for the coming year. The focus of this year’s retreat was UAND’s newly restructured strategic plan including goals for UAND to accomplish in the next five years.

As presented at this year’s annual conference, UAND’s strategic plan has taken on a new format and focus. The concise two page plan is aligned directly with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The goal behind the restructuring of the plan is to allow the strategic plan to be the driving force behind all we do at UAND. We also want the plan to be more accessible to UAND members. Look for the plan to be made available on the UAND website in the coming months.

Thank you to all UAND board members for their input and involvement! We look forward to an exciting year with the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics!

Katie Davis has been the UAND Strategic Planning Chair since 2010 and will continue in this role for the upcoming year.  Katie and Gina Young, our new President 2012-13, have been working tirelessly to make this vision a reality – and we are certain that this will give UAND a strong focus for the years ahead.

Share your vision for UAND 2017.  What do you think are the most important goals that UAND should tackle in the next five years?
