Issue: 1

January 8, 2010

Greetings!

Thank you for opening your first issue of RDNews for 2010. This year you will continue to find valuable information, RD Tips, current noteworthy news and an occasional RD in the field story. And we are pleased to introduce our new RDNews Editor!

Welcome RDNews Editor!

As we launched RDNews in 2009 Lee provided most of the copy and information. Later in the year you read articles submitted by some of our HMC RDs all of which continued to pass through Lee as our Newsletter Editor.

This year the RDNews will have a new editor; Judy Morgan, MBA, RD. Judy will provide excellent articles, edit submissions and provide up-to-date information related to RDs and HMC. In addition to editing the information for RDNews, Judy will also provide you with a format for sending questions, comments, and suggestions for future articles.

Welcome aboard Judy!

Please feel free to send a note her way.
