Each year, the caliber of talent in Retail RD of the Year applications continues to raise and impress RDBA’s Advisory Board reviewers. Given the quality work and continued expansion of services within the retail RD profession, RDBA recognizes the following four RDs, who were finalist for the award along with our winner Emily Parent.

The Retail Dietitians Business Alliance is thrilled to announce that Emily Parent, RD, LD, is the winner of the 2019 Retail Dietitian of the Year award. As one of three RDs for Coborn's Inc, Emily supports in store efforts, employee wellness, and the e-commerce division of the company, allowing her to creatively target health and wellness towards Coborn's guests.
