We had a guest speaker today named Karen Bakies, RD, LD. She is the Student Affairs Director with the American Dairy Association Mideast. She talked to us about how to communicate the nutrition messages we are trying to get across. We learned that the American Dairy Association has been around since 1915. They provide scientific-based nutrition info to the media physicians, dietitians, nurses, educators, and consumers. American Dairy Association is funded through dairy farmers. She covers the states of Ohio and West Virginia. There are 3,099 dairy farmers in Ohio. She taught us a lot about how to give presentations and keep people interested so we can effectively translate our message.
