IAND hosts a Day at the Statehouse each year to celebrate Registered Dietitians and National Nutrition Month. The purpose of the gathering is to meet with legislators to discuss and promote the importance of the RDN and pertinent legislation to improve the health of Hoosiers through food and nutrition. RDNs, dietetic students, and interns from around the state gather for a day of education on policy issues, networking with state partners, and advocacy.
