Welcome to a New CSNM Year!
Hello CSNM members! I am so excited to step into the role of your CSNM President for this upcoming year. Whether you caught our conference in June (in person or virtually) or are tuning in today from your workplace, please check out my video message above, and read on for a quick introduction and a look at what’s ahead.
A Little Bit About Me
- My East Coast Roots: While I originally grew up in Ontario, I have called Halifax, Nova Scotia home for the past 15 years—which I believe officially qualifies me as a proud Haligonian and East Coaster!
- Professional Background: In addition to being a proud Nutrition Manager, I hold my license as a Registered Dietitian.
- Personal Passions: As is true for most of us in this industry, I am a total foodie, and I love to travel to explore all the amazing cultural cuisine the world has to offer.
Gratitude & The Magic of Collaboration
- A Heartfelt Thank You: My first order of business as president is to thank you for everything you do every single day to elevate nutrition management across Canada.
- Stronger Together: I am a big believer in the magic of collaboration. Whether we are Nutrition Managers, Registered Dietitians, or industry partners, bringing our collective strength together helps us support one another through shared challenges.
- Growing Together: I am genuinely looking forward to connecting, learning, and growing alongside all of you over the next year.
Summer Wishes & What’s Next
“I fully know that work can be a little crazy sometimes, but if you can, please enjoy the summer, get some fresh air, and enjoy the sun…”
I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful August! Please take some time to recharge outdoors and soak up the rest of the summer season.
I look forward to seeing you all again in September with some exciting updates on what’s to come this fall!
Kaila Saunders, NM
CSNM President
