May 1st- Today our guest speaker was Janine Faber who is an RD working with Meijer in promoting Healthy Living. She is funded through the sponsorships that they get throughout the year. There goal for the Meijer Healthy Living is to increase sales and promote customer loyalty by creating communication health solutions and promoting knowledge to the shoppers. She explain her job in detail about how she basically travels within her district to promote and educate people about what is healthy. She does many community events and in-store events to promote Meijer Healthy Living. She also explained the program NuVal. I had heard of it but had never know exactly what is was till now. I love the idea that you can put a product into NuVal and it will show you the score of the product.  Janine presentation was very interesting. I learned many new great things that could benefit me in my career down the road!

May 3rd- Today our guest speaker was Heidi Anderson. She is a RD at WellWorks. She has been working at Ohio University for 6 years as the Education and Special Event Coordinator. She does mostly marketing and public relations for WellWorks which is in Ohio University.. She is funded through membership and the services provided through WellWorks. She talked about the new things that are happening within WellWorks which is the program called Chip. It is basically promoting a plant based diet. They also collaborate with people and agencies to try to promote it worldwide. I thought that Heidi was a great example of how there are many different things you can do with your degree as a dietitian.
