What do YOU have to say about Nutrition Literacy and Leadership/Management issues?
The Spring 2010 HOD virtual meeting was conducted on May 1-2, 2010. The two dialogues pertained to:

Two motions have been prepared by the House Leadership Team for consideration.
Electronic Motion #1: Health & Nutrition Literacy

- Would you be willing to incorporate the tools and resources developed into your practice?
Management and Leadership:
