Thank you for joining us for
Clinical Update
Getting Paid: Reimbursement and Compensation
Thank you to all who registered and joined us on December 3 for the virtual Clinical Update. The event featured 5 speakers from across the country and provided 4 CPEU for attendees. Due to the generosity of our membership, we were able to offer 5 registration sponsorships for deserving students to attend the conference at no cost. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sponsor a Student program this year.
Of course we would like to thank everyone for their patience as we dealt with technical issues that resulted in the conference running over time a bit. Our nimble team and gifted speakers worked hard to recover from a few technical glitches.
Thank you to the content area experts who presented at the conference. Your contributions made for a day of learning about "Getting Paid" for everyone. Links to the presentations can be found below.

Fall 2020 Kickoff and Networking Event
WRDA is pleased to announce that the Fall Kickoff and Networking Event was a success! The presenting community organizations each detailed innovative programming for community engagement and food assistance during the pandemic. For more information on how to volunteer, donate, or learn more about the agencies, visit their websites.
In addition to learning more about how our community is responding to food insecurity, members enjoyed networking and discussion in breakout rooms after the presentations.
Special "Thank you!" to Jenna Lebowich, Membership Chair, and Jessica Tosto, Community Engagement Chair for planning and executing a successful kickoff event! The slides are available in the downloads section of the member pages.
Thanks for Voting Everyone!
Now What do We Do?
Let's Engage With Our Legislators
WRDA's Public Policy Committee would like to remind you that nutrition advocacy doesn't end with voting!
The Tisch Center for Food Policy rates your representatives. Click on an interactive map to see whether your legislators voted to keep food safe, healthy, and affordable.
Or you can check your legislator's report card to see how many bills they've sponsored, their voting record, and more!
Visit the Academy's Action Center to weigh in with your legislators. The work has been done for you, all you have to do is sign your name to a letter for your representatives. You are encouraged to add any additional information to personalize your letter. Advocating for your patients, the public, and your career couldn't be easier!
WRDA Volunteer Day at People to People of Rockland County
Thank you to all who were able to join us on 8/11/20 to assist People to People of Rockland County with unloading their food delivery. It was a terrific opportunity for the members of WRDA to participate in ensuring that county residents in need have nutritious food for their families. If you would like to participate in future events like this, please email the board with suggested community agencies. You can reach the WRDA board at WRDABoard@gmail.com.
