2 I WILL SERVE FORM H.R requires that federally skilled nursing facilities (SNF) have their Director of Food Services, in the absence of a full-time dietitian, be trained as a Certified Dietary Manager, Certified Food Protection Professional (CDM, CFPP), or a Dietetic Technician, Registered (DTR), or have the equivalent training from military experience or traditional education. On May 23, 2013, U.S. Representatives Tom Latham (R-IA), and co-sponsor Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced Safe Food for Seniors Act of 2013 ( H.R. 2181) in Congress! The Safe Food for Seniors Act of 2013 (H.R. 2181) ensures the recognition of the CDM credential nationwide. Stay tuned for more information, including a link to the Safe Food for Seniors web page, devoted specifically to the bill and a grassroots campaign It was my pleasure to attend the National ANFP Leadership Institute this year. I attended a 3 day class that was filled with so much information. The Conference allowed me to bring back many ideas to my place of employment as well as my family and personal life to improve communication as well setting goals and reaching them while strengthening my leadership goals. The networking was more than I ever have encountered and look forward to keeping in touch with many of my forum buddies representing their states. I also had the privilege to meet the new President and Chief Executive Officer of ANFP, Joyce Gilbert, PHD,LD,RDN. She will be a great asset as our leader within the organization.
