The  cause is to provide nutrition education classes in public libraries in low income, minority areas of Memphis. By doing this, we hope to decrease the incidence of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes among low income, minority residents of Memphis.  The money will be used to purchase a portable teaching kitchen, food for cooking demos, handouts, and other supplies.

Please support Dr. Williams-Hooker and her colleagues by voting for her cause  every day, 10 times for the next 10 days. Also, please share with everyone you know, as she needs at least 100,000 votes in 10 days.

Thank you for your consideration.

A leader doesn’t always have a fancy title like CEO, director or manager! A leader can be defined as a difference maker or someone who isn’t satisfied with status quo. Each year, the Nashville Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics takes time to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of both members and community leaders who make a difference in the lives of others.

We ask for your participation in the selection process. Nominate a NAND difference maker today!

We are accepting nominations for awards in these categories:

• Outstanding Dietitian
• Recognized Young Dietitian
