Welcome to NVAND!

NVAND is one of the five district affiliates of the Virginia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (VAND). Our membership includes Registered Dietitians, Registered Dietetic Technicians, students, and retirees of the profession in the Northern Virginia Area.

NVAND members are leading advocates of the dietetic profession in Virginia, serving the public through promotion of optimal nutrition, health, and well-being. Many NVAND members are involved in the community and actively promote nutrition and wellness in hospitals, schools, corporations, grocery stores and/or work in private practice. Many members also serve on advisory boards and task forces like VAND Advocacy Public Policy team and the Childhood Obesity Task Force.

If you are new to our site we encourage you to explore our website and take advantage of our nutrition resources links. We are here to serve the public and provide sound nutrition advice.
