📣 Passing the Gavel 📣

At the final NHAND Board Meeting of the 2024-2025 year on May 1st, we honored the tradition of the ceremonial passing of the gavel. As of June 1st, Stephanie Chmielecki will officially step into the role of NHAND President, while Jen Messer transitions into Immediate Past President. What a fantastic year it has been!

✨ Some highlights from this year include:

Outlining our pilot mentorship program
Establishing an In State Foundation Scholarship Fund
Hosting impactful advocacy events and Professional Development
Advancing conversations around the Dietitian Licensure Compact
Growing student and member engagement across the state
A new Strategic Plan

After the meeting, the current “3Ps” — Gretchen Arnold (Immediate Past President), Jen Messer (President), and Stephanie Chmielecki (President-Elect) — reflected on one of the most meaningful parts of being involved in NHAND: the friendships and camaraderie built through service. 💙

Working together as volunteers and leaders has put us in a unique position to elevate our profession and unify dietitians across New Hampshire. A rising tide lifts all ships — and the ripple effect of NHAND’s work benefits every RD and NDTR in the state and beyond. 🌊

Here’s to continued progress, connection, and impact. 💪
📸 Susanna Henry - thank you!
