Calling AZ renal dietitians! Join our AZ CRN team! Our long time officers: Leah Beaird, Co-Chair, Diana Fisher, Co-Chair and Laura Holden, Co-Secretary are resigning after many years of service.

Each of our officer positions is split between 2 people so you will always have a back-up to help you. Please consider running for office and keeping our chapter viable. Diana, Leah, and Laura will still be available for help and advice as needed.

The following slides have a list of officer positions and their responsibilities. The time commitment is minimal: some months there is nothing and some months it is a 2-3 hour time commitment. Please feel free to reach out to any of the officers if you have any questions or would like to volunteer.

Our next meeting will be May 24th at Blanco Tacos in Phoenix at 6PM and we'll open voting at that time. A link will be sent out via email to apply.

One of the great talks given at the SW Nephrology Conference 2023 was from Jen Hernandez RDN, CSR, LDN, "Empowering Patients to use Digital Health & Nutrition Tracking Apps". We summarized four awesome apps below. Jen suggests sharing these apps with your patients and to consider doing a lobby day to showcase them and help your clients download them. She discussed many more awesome apps so check her out at https://www.plantpoweredkidneys.com/ and find her on instagram & fb Plant-Powered Kidneys

To those that went, we hope you enjoyed your time! Consider going to the SW Nephrology conference next year.
