| What other benefits could IAND offer that you would like to see? |
|
| CEU’s/Educational opportunities (n=5) |
| I feel it is important to network with RD’s but it is difficult to take off for in-person meetings. Ideally, I feel it would be beneficial to video 8-12 topics for the year including one ethical so would easily be able to meet that guideline. We have so many talented RD’s I feel this could showcase that RD for the month and have that video available for credit for a reasonable fee or free to AND/IAND membership. |
| Lunch and Learn/Journal Club opportunity |
| More free continuing education opportunities |
| webinars |
| webinars |
| |
| Local Districts (n=2) |
| More organization, communication, and CEUs from the local districts. |
| More local district benefits |
| |
| Increased in-person options (n=2) |
| More in person activities |
| I would like to return to in person meetings. I do not like virtual annual meetings and choose not to attend them. |
| |
| Networking/Community (n=5) |
| Better ability to network/connect with local dietitians in area. |
| Virtual networking opportunities/ chat rooms (?) |
| More info/networking for RDs interested in private practice |
| Sense of community in IAND |
| More networking opportunities |
| |
| Communication (n=3) |
| job openings sent out in email form one a month |
| Perhaps a listserv to communicate with other Indiana RDNs? |
| Act as a go-to contact for media requests. Partner with different media outlets to help increase accurate nutrition information |
| |
| |
| |
| Insurance coverage (n=3) |
| Fighting for Insurance coverage |
| Getting MNT services covered through all age groups, and expanded diagnosis with all insurances in addition to Medicaid and Medicare |
| More resources to check state-specific policies and regulations re MNT coverage, writing orders, etc. |
| |
| Regions vs. Districts (n=2) |
| The transition to regions sounds like a great idea |
| Not a fan of regions, would keep the districts |
| |
| Scholarships (n=2) |
| More scholarships and funding for members |
| scholarships for conferences/students in dietetics |
| |
| Other (n=5) |
| Tours of local grocery stores or companies that would help us learn about their mission and in turn we promote them |
| I would like see more partnerships with health systems, employers, and dietetics recruiters. |
| Market for more young people to become dietitians. Advocate to national AND to make it more supportive, less expectations to continue to stay a registered dietitian. It’s very difficult to work full time , do all required annual CE’s, do all the goals/meet learning objectives (can these be reduced). The AND is making it harder to become and continue to be a registeted dietitian. |
| I think IAND could advocate and collaborate with colleges to provide more long term dietitians to get their masters degree and make it easier for us to get this degree. |
| Is there assistance/support for RDs who feel that a co worker is providing nutritional advice/information without a dietitian license? Worker is an RN |

| A number of valuable benefits are currently provided that I hope to keep prioritizing to take advantage of. |
| Recently became a member after some absence and no suggestions provided |
| LOVE the virtual conferences! Good Job IAND!! |
