2014 WASHINGTON STATE ACADEMY OF
NUTRITION AND DIETETICS AWARDS
Today we recognize the efforts and accomplishments of our outstanding peers, colleagues and
students. Once again, your Washington State Academy Board would like to thank the district
representatives and individuals who submitted nominations this year. Thanks also to each
nominee for following through with the fairly extensive on-line application process.
Beginning last fall, information about the Washington State Academy and the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics awards was distributed to each of our district dietetic associations,
along with a request for nominations. Awards information was also posted on the Washington
State Academy website at www.eatrightwashington.org. To select our award recipients, panels
of Washington State Academy board members reviewed all applications, using standardized
scoring.
We encourage you to consider nominating someone next year!
• Remember that as a Washington State Academy member, you may nominate someone
through your district association or on your own
• If you feel that a nominee that didn’t receive an award was a good candidate, it is very
appropriate to re-nominate her/him
Lastly, if you have any suggestions to improve our award process, please let us know. We strive to
update and streamline the process each year and will welcome your input.

commitment to the field of dietetics is represented by her devotion to student success.”

she has held. She was President of the Washington State Dietetic Association and has been an active
