Who Will Be the 2023 Retail Dietitian of the Year? Apply Now!
Mandy Katz, Giant Food, on being 2022 Retail Dietitian of the Year, and working amongst “changemakers, innovators and do-ers of hard things.”
One of the great benefits of the Retail Dietitians Business Alliance, is the opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the talent and commitment in the retail dietitian field and across the retail food industry. As we continue to spotlight these leaders in our RD Profiles series, share news on our LinkedIn page about unique and exciting work RDs are doing, offer more opportunities and resources to connect, it is also a great honor to name every year a new RDBA Retail Dietitian of the Year for outstanding performance in their role. And it’s that time of year again!
Applications are open, and we can’t wait to reveal the 2023 RD of the Year at this year’s Fourth Annual RDBA Virtual Experience, April 18 - 20. Last year’s recipient, Mandy Katz, MS, RD,CSP, LDN, Manager of Healthy Living at Giant Food, has been described by her coworkers as a “trailblazer,” and we couldn’t agree more. In this video, Mandy recaps why she loves her job and the meaningful impact it has on her community. She also talks about what she’s gained from her RDBA involvement, and spotlights her amazing team! She even gave us a peek inside her 2022 SampleFest box that comes with registration for the RDBA Virtual Experience.
Big thanks to Mandy for being a part of RDBA and sharing her experience!
