Ramp Up Your Media Game with these Resources
By RDBA Executive Director, Annette Maggi, MS, RDN, LD, FAND
Learning new skills on the job is common no matter our work experience level, and throughout this past year, retail dietitians have built a multitude of new skills. High on the list is the ability to develop and lead engaging consumer videos and live stream. While retail dietitians may be heading back into the store, digital will continue to be an important and impactful way to engage the shopper on health and wellbeing. To help retail RDs maximize their effectiveness in this medium, RDBA offered three sessions at the May Virtual Experience. Recording of these sessions are now available for all RDBA members. See overviews and links below.
