The MS-AND Public Policy Committee is working to bring you the latest information on all things policy and advocacy.

The Public Policy Committee continues to meet with stakeholders regarding the Dietitian Licensure Compact. For more information on the compact please visit https://dietitianscompact.org/. Be on the lookout for further updates on the Dietitian Licensure Compact from your MS-AND Public Policy Committee as well as information in our newsletters and on social media (@eatrightMS on Facebook, Instagram, and X and follow “Mississippi Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics” on LinkdIn).

Action Alerts

Action alerts allow us to bring the public policy issues to the attention of legislators and help to raise awareness and add legitimacy to a particular priority issue.

There are currently two nutrition related Action Alerts for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives:

  • The Farm Bill Legislation
