Katie Wheeler
I would be honored to be a part of the BGAND nominating committee. I enjoy networking and bringing people together who have common interests and causes. My previous roles in KAND helped me meet so many wonderful dietitians throughout the state and I look forward connecting with more at the local level. I am good at identifying unique skills in individuals and am confident I can find the perfect candidates for positions on BGAND's board to make it as successful as possible.
James Wise
It would be an honor to be a part of the BGAND nominating committee. I enjoy networking with colleagues and future colleagues who have shared interests. I think it is important to connect at the local level just as one would with the state and national levels. I believe based on my past experiences in other professional societies, I would be able to help the BGAND’s board find successful candidates.
Erin Elliasen
Across my career I have had the opportunity to interact with many RDNs as preceptors across the region and work with numerous future RDNs in the classroom. In the past, I have served in BGAND as a prior president and member of the nominating and career services committees. It would be a privilege to begin serving within the organization again as a member of the nominating committee.
Rachel Harrington
I am running for the Secretary of BGAND because I want to be more involved in this local organization. I have been member of the Academy for over 30 years and a member of BGAND since I moved back to KY in 2004. Membership in our professional organizations is important for networking and advocating for the profession. I am especially qualified to be secretary of BGAND. I am organized, provide timely feedback, and a good listener. I am knowledgeable in Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Google Sheets, and Excel and I possesses strong written and verbal communication skills. I was the secretary of KAND from 2017-2019.
