In recognition of National Nutrition Month and Registered Dietitian Day, the PDA invites you to an informative professional development program and dinner event focused on expanding and strengthening the dietetic profession. Come learn tools that EVERY dietitian needs in their “RD Toolkit” to encourage both professional and personal growth. Our speaker panel of nationally and locally recognized experts includes:

  • Althea Zanecosky, MS, RD, LDN: Communications Specialist and Media Spokesperson for Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. Understand the key elements to include in an introduction, or “elevator pitch” to potential collaborators or clients and its value to career growth.
  • Dr. Michael Baime, MD: Director of the Penn Program for Mindfulness. Discover ways to hinder professional burnout using a mindful approach to stress management.
  • Dr. Susan Gordon, PhD: Clinical Manager, Mood & Eating Disorders Unit at the Belmont Center for Comprehensive Health. When conducting a nutrition assessment, recognize language and behaviors to identify disordered eating, and learn the indications for a higher level of care to treat the disorder.
  • Molly Kellogg, RD, LCSW: Psychotherapist, Nutritionist and Life Coach. Given a limited amount of time in educating or counseling a client, learn how to identify a targeted message and to set appropriate goals and expectations for the encounter. Strategies can be applied to both the inpatient and outpatient setting.
  • Lisa Jones, MA, RD, LDN: Nutrition Communications Consultant, Media Representative for PADA, PR chair for PDA, and Adjunct Professor at LaSalle University.  Learn the principles of a well contructed media sound-byte for use working with the media and public outreach.


To complete the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by Aramark.
