KAND Nutrition Advocacy Breakfast
Connecting Dietitians, Legislators & the Future of Nutrition Care in Tennessee

đź“… Friday, October 30, 2026
⏰ 8:00–10:30 AM
📍 Calhoun’s on the River
400 Neyland Drive, Knoxville, TN

Join us for a morning of connection, conversation, and advocacy as Tennessee dietitians gather with local legislators to share the impact of nutrition care across our communities.

This interactive breakfast will give dietitians and legislators an opportunity to connect directly, discuss nutrition-related needs across Tennessee, and learn more about the important role dietitians play in healthcare, community, education, and agriculture.

We’ll also highlight KAND’s advocacy priorities: Access. Recognition. Policy.

Following the legislative portion of the morning, dietitians will stay for a dietitian-only advocacy and CEU session focused on the future of nutrition care in Tennessee and what the new licensure framework means for patients, providers, and public health.

We hope you’ll join us for this important opportunity to connect, advocate, and strengthen the voice of dietitians in Tennessee!
