AKDA continues to honor its mission to lead the future of dietetics in Alaska. Our strategic plan includes increasing the use of technology to help connect members of this vast land of Alaska. We are committed to recruiting AKDA members and the promotion of our profession through increasing media coverage. AKDA hosts an annual Spring Conference to unite members and non-members and feature nationally known speakers for continuing education opportunities.
