Dear DNS Members,

As I move into my year as Immediate Past-Chair of DNS, I feel so grateful. I'm grateful to so many people for all their hard work and dedication to our DPG. I'm grateful for all the experiences and opportunities I had this year to enrich DNS and build upon the great strength our DPG already had as a result of all the tremendous leaders that came before me. Most of all I am grateful to you, our members. I was able to be strong this year and represent nutrition support issues on behalf of DNS because of you. Because I knew how hard each one of you works every day for your patients, I had the strength and determination to work hard on your behalf. Because I knew how important having a professional resource that you can count on like DNS  for products, continuing education and networking, I had the determination to be engage with our Executive Committee (EC) and Coordinating Cabinet (CC) to create meaningful products and services that will take your practice to the next level. No one has this kind of success as a single entity. I am indebted to both the EC and CC for all of their expertise and volunteer time.
