Optimizing the health of Missourians through food and nutrition

Please note that space for this event is limited, so we'd love for you to arrive a little early — about 10-15 minutes before we start — so we can get everyone settled in comfortably. Join the Missouri Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for a FNCE networking event at Yard House in San Antonio! We're so excited to have you join us! If your plans change and you're no longer able to make it, please cancel your RSVP as soon as you can so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist (don't worry, we'll have one ready!). We ask that you plan to stay for the full event, from 6-8 PM. We'll be gathered together at the high tops in the main dining area, with everyone seated by 6 PM. Appetizers are on us! Any additional food or drinks you'd like beyond that will be self-pay. Can't wait to see you there! Register today at the link in bio!

Big news for Missouri dietitians! Through the collective advocacy efforts of MOAND and its members, Missouri achieved significant legislative victories this session. These changes mean Missouri will soon join the Dietitian Licensure Compact, and new graduates will be able to receive a one-time temporary license, allowing them to work as they prepare for their registration exam. Here is what to expect regarding timelines and next steps: Dietitian Licensure Compact: State & National Staging: State board administrators at the Missouri Division of Professional Registration are onboarding with the National Compact Commission, which involves syncing state licensing data and updating local regulations. Licensure & Fees: Dietitians will keep their main Missouri license through the State Committee of Dietitians. To practice in other states, RDs will need to buy a separate "Compact Privilege" which includes a national administrative fee along with a fee determined by the remote state. Timeline: Since building the national data system and integrating with states takes time, the ability to issue privileges is not expected to begin until 2027. Temporary Licensure: Temporary licenses cannot be issued immediately after the law takes effect August 28, 2026. Rulemaking & Required Approvals: The State Committee of Dietitians must draft rules, set up application fee structures, and get approvals from the Division of Professional Registration, the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and the Governor's Office before filing. Timeline: The rulemaking process usually takes at least 9 months to finish. Stay connected with MOAND for ongoing updates as we advocate for and communicate important changes affecting Missouri dietitians.
