                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Academy of Nutrition and 
   Dietetics, the world's largest organization of food and nutrition 
                             professionals.

Whereas October 20, 1917, was the date on which the constitution and bylaws of 
        the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (then known as the American 
        Dietetic Association) were adopted;
Whereas the Academy was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, by a group of visionary 
        women dedicated to helping the American government conserve food and 
        improve the public's health and nutrition during World War I;
Whereas during its first century, the Academy has grown from a charter 
        membership of 58 into a worldwide, diverse membership of more than 
        75,000 registered dietitian nutritionists, dietetic technicians, 
        scientists, clinicians, educators, students, and other food and 
        nutrition practitioners;
Whereas members of the Academy have from the organization's founding to the 
        present day played a pivotal role in shaping the public's food choices, 
        improving people's nutritional status, and preventing and treating 
        chronic diseases across the lifecycle; and
Whereas October 20, 2017, should be commemorated as the 100th anniversary of the 
        Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Academy of 
        Nutrition and Dietetics; and
            (2) expresses hope that the Academy of Nutrition and 
        Dietetics proudly will enter its second century and honor its 
        distinguished history by continuing to improve the Nation's 
        health, by setting as bold a vision for the future as its 
        founders did in 1917, and by advancing the profession of 
        dietetics through research, education and advocacy.
                                 <all>
