Students of BRTC’s Dietetic Technician program and their instructors, Tina Harris and Kathy Murdock, recently traveled to Little Rock for a legislative luncheon held in the Capitol Hill building during the 89th session of the general assembly. Members of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, including Dietetic students and instructors from around the state, took this opportunity to meet with legislators to gain their support for Senate Bill 74.
“The bill is an act to modernize references to the national and state Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics within the Dietetics Practice Act,” Murdock explained. “The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was formerly the American Dietetic Association.” The group met with Representative Scott Baltz of District 61 (Randolph County), among others.
