The Just Do 2! Campaign is designed to increase the presence of RD's in our community in order to promote ourselves as the primary source of nutrition information to the public and private sectors.  We are asking each of our members to volunteer only 2 hours of their time.  You can volunteer to be a part of any nutrition-related activity to benefit our community or to help with the efforts of our governing bodies (e.g. ADA, NCDA, or CDA).  Some general ideas are:

• Write a letter or visit your NC representative about nutrition policy issues

• Represent your district at the annual ADA Public Policy Workshop

• Volunteer speaking time in your area of expertise or interest

• Conduct a food drive at a district or state meeting or as a group

• Represent your district at health fairs

• Work a fundraising activity for the association

• Serve on an ADA, NCDA or district committee

• Introduce speakers, assist with sessions, work the bookmart or the marketing booth or serve on the planning committee for NCDA's Annual Meeting

• Serve on your local dietetic association board as an officer or committee chair

• Add your name to ADA’s database for volunteers and leadership by editing
