Make your plans now to join your friends and colleagues in San Antonio on April 12-14, 2012 for the Annual Food and Nutrition Conference of the Texas Dietetic Association. We have not been to San Antonio in a while so come see what this charming city has to offer while taking advantage of the best in educational opportunities and credits. These educational credits are offered at affordable
prices for dietitians and dietetic technicians across the state. Plus we are offering two new events
this year along with the roll out of the TDA Fueling Station, open the entire time of FNCE with
refreshments and snacks.
This statewide event is open to TDA members and non-members. Managers, supervisors and team
leaders are urged to recognize and encourage additional staff members to attend. The annual conference offers a networking opportunity like no other and offers the perfect opportunity for nonmembers to realize the valuable professional enhancements provided by TDA. If you are involved in the dietetic profession you do not want to miss this program. Continue reading to find out just what the 2012 TDA FNCE has planned for this year!
