Leadership is both an art and a skill. Kansas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recognizes the responsibility to train their volunteers and to empower them to successfully complete their roles within the organization.
A Leadership Orientation or Retreat is offered annually to bring the volunteers and elected officers together for team building and strategic planning. Each member is encouraged to embrace their role and to become part of the dynamic team.
Each year, KSAND sponsors the President Elect's attendance at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Leadership Institute. The Leadership Institute supports the Academy's commitment to develop its members by ensuring they embody a leadership mindset for innovation, adaptability, empowerment and risk-taking.

2021 KSAND Leadership Retreat
On June 12th, 2021, outgoing and incoming KSAND board members met at Botanica gardens in Wichita for the Leadership retreat. In the morning we toured the gardens, watched butterflies hatch, and even ate some crickets/worms! We had a delicious lunch catered by Two Olives, then spent the afternoon reviewing KSAND documents and procedure. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend!
