RD411 Now Has Over 1000 Professional Resources. And They Are All Free! Message from Nancy Collins, PhD, RD, LD/N Fall is upon us and the chill is in the air – or at least that is what I am told. As a Floridian, I don’t have the opportunity to experience the fall weather so I am happy to be heading to Chicago for the American Dietetic Association’s Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE). RD411.com will be featured inside the Abbott Nutrition booth so please stop by and say hello. I always love to hear your ideas and suggestions and find out how you have been using the site. If you are not attending the meeting, please drop me a note at Nancy@RD411.com with your comments. I have been busy adding new content and new functionality like the newsletter archive. All of the past newsletters are now available on the site so if you want to go back and find something, just click here. I have two major expansions planned for the coming months so stay tuned because I think you’re going to find these new features very helpful and very unique!
