Infuse 5.5 FNCE Special Edition | Page 3

From the Desk
of Maree Ferguson
Founder & Director, Dietitian Connection
Hello to everyone attending FNCE!
Our DC team is thrilled to be here in
Washington, DC and in the company of
brilliant, talented RDs/dietitians from the
US and around the world. We are so looking
forward to making new connections, learning
from great innovators, catching up on
breaking research – and enjoying the fine
dining opportunities that DC has in
store for us! This is a special edition of Infuse, our quarterly
magazine, and we are pinching ourselves that
we can bring you our exclusive interview with
the brilliant Maye Musk, our cover story. A
star on many stages, Maye balances careers in
modelling and dietetics with ease and grace
- but, as she notes, science always comes first
for her. Read her incredible story within to
learn more.
While DC was founded in Australia, from
the very start we’ve been global in our
thinking. We’ve been busy bringing together
a community of dietitians from around the
world, inspired and motivated by one another.
We have so much in common – and so much
to learn from one another. Enjoy FNCE and all that DC has to offer, and
please seek us out and introduce yourselves.
You won’t be able to miss our accents – and
yes, we may slip in a “g’day!” or two!
So - if you’re not already a member of our
DC community [it’s free!], please stop by
our booth at FNCE and say hello. We’d love
to tell you more about DC and the benefits
of membership [free news, education
opportunities, networking, events, active &
supportive social platforms, and much
more!]. Or, simply join online here. P.S. I couldn’t resist adding a note about food,
a topic that I love on so many levels. I’m a
passionate foodie and, as such, Washington is
a city I’m looking forward to exploring. From
all accounts, it’s full of amazing and innovative
food experiences – in fact, so many I don’t
know where to begin! So: please share your
best DC dining tips with me. Email me or
say hi during the conference. Thank you in
advance!
