That’s why we began Dietitians’ Day –
a small celebration of our profession –
five years ago. It was a chance to bring
dietitians together in person, so new
connections could be forged and ideas
shared. Today, this “small celebration”
has evolved into Dietitians Unite, a
packed room of eager attendees who
are ready to share, be inspired and
strengthen their network of relationships.
We have three tracks this year – clinical,
business and foodservice – and nearly a
dozen incredible speakers from different
walks of life.
This foundation of relationships helps
give us the courage to try new ideas,
expand our thinking and gain expert
insight when we make decisions.
Relationships also go both ways, and
enable us to support, motivate and
encourage those who call upon us
for help.
The end result? A rich network of
relationships that work in glorious
harmony to help you grow and flourish
in your career.
So: “relationships” it is. Expect to hear
more of this word from us as 2018
unfolds – and know we are ever grateful
for the relationships we’ve built with all
of you through DC.
I, for one, expect to wrap up the day
with many new relationships forged, and
existing relationships strengthened.
Thanks for being part of my web of
relationships. DC wouldn’t exist
without you.
Speaking of relationships…we firmly
believe that, despite all of the incredible
technology available today, face-
to-face meetings remain crucial for
relationships.

P.S. As you all know, I am Jamie Oliver’s #1 fan, and the fact that he’s
our cover story this month is a testament to the value of relationships. Go on,
skip ahead now and read all about the incredible work his Ministry of Food
has been doing in Australia.
