How We Lead

The Academy is committed to collaboration, innovation and respect — supporting an organizational culture where volunteer leaders, members and staff feel welcome, included and empowered to succeed.

Our leadership reflects a partnership between Executive Staff and our Board of Directors, supported by engaged volunteers serving through committees, dietetic practice groups, member interest groups, affiliate associations and other organizational units and teams. Together, these create a comprehensive leadership and governance ecosystem designed to implement strategic thinking and planning for concrete action and success metrics to move the organization and profession forward.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Bylaws (PDF) are rules adopted by the organization for governing meetings and association affairs. They define the relationship, the rights and the obligations for members, directors, officers and staff. The bylaws were last amended March 9, 2023.
