The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the world's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1917, by a visionary group of women dedicated to helping the government conserve food and improve the public's health and nutrition during World War I. Today, the Academy has over 100,000 credentialed practitioners (700 in Idaho) - registered dietitian nutritionists, dietetic technicians, registered, and other dietetics professionals holding undergraduate and advanced degrees in nutrition and dietetics, and students - and is committed to improving the nation's health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy.

The board encourages all members to participate in our Affiliate Awards selections by nominating colleagues. June Yerrington was an active member of the Idaho Dietetics Association and a mentor to many. Prior to her death, June was a clinical dietitian at the Boise Veterans Hospital. At least three letters from Idaho Academy members explaining why the nominee is deserving of the award are requested for the nomination.
A Registered Dietitian is an asset to my practice and the patients we serve. The dietitian adds a unique dimension of care, support to providers, and acts as a true team player to progress the goal of highest quality care at Shoshone Family Medical Center. A Registered Dietitian belongs in primary care.
