Happy Thursday everyone!
As I am getting back in the groove of things (and waiting for Grey's Anatomy to come on!), I thought I would reflect on the past 5 days I spent in Chicago for my first ever FNCE experience. All I can say is wow!
I met so many dynamic individuals, both students and professionals alike. It was wonderful to put a face to the names of so many directors and students we had been communicating with. Jenny and I (and All Access Internships of course) had a presence in the Product Marketplace on Sunday along with numerous other entrepreneurial dietitians as well as at the Student Recruitment Fair, to which we were courteously invited by the Dietetic Educators of Pracitioners Practice Group.
If I came away with any one tip from these past few days it would be to JOIN A DPG! I am a member of both the Nutrition Entrepreneurs and Dietitians in Business and Communications practice groups and my membership enabled me to meet that many more people. I met the entire NE executive board at their sponsored session and also attended a DBC Networking Breakfast where I met many individuals working in the food industry and other large companies. I walked away from FNCE with a stack of business cards and an overwhelming excitement for our profession.
I hope you will take the time to read the article on our site regarding "Attending a Professional Meeting like a Professional" before next year's meeting. Start working on your business cards now, and I hope to see you all in Denver!
