Inside The Associations Advocating For Our Profession
To join or not to join, and why? Both IONC and CANNP have had virtual open houses for the public and potential members to share what it is that they do within our industry. The content covered is broad with a focus on what the membership offers. What hasn't happened is a conversation and Q&A that is closed only to IHN students and graduates. IHN's Julia Rickert, in her role as a Professional Practice faculty member and Career Consultant invited the directors and decision makers from both associations to answer questions that are relevant to IHN graduating students and our Certified Nutritional Practitioners working in the field.
Julia shared, "I managed a group called Networking Nutritionists for 4 1/2 years and saw many multiple threads develop asking about the necessity of either organization and what they actually do for our profession. I still get those questions from students and graduates who've been in the field for some time. Do they matter? What's the benefit? Is the yearly output of fees worthwhile? What's the difference between the two? What aren't they just one group? Questions around getting clients covered by extended health care benefits, regulation or recognition, the weight of the designations in practice and what's happening within our profession that all of us need to know. We'll hit the basics, for sure, but I want to set some things straight with what IONC and CANNP actually do for us and why IHN continues to partner with them."
The two separate Zoom calls won't be recorded for broad replay but will available upon request if IHN'ers can't make it there LIVE. Email jullia@instituteofholisticnutrition.com if you want the replay.
The Q&A will be open for registrants questions.
