Fall/Winter 2009 Chairperson's Message
The New York State Nutrition Council wishes to thank everyone for their loyalty, interest and support over the years. Winter 2009 Fall 2008 Summer 2008 Spring 2008 Winter 2008 2007 2006 2005 In the last five years in particular, the Council has been struggling with many challenges. There have been many bumps in the road. As has been previously noted the Council is basically no longer serving its initial mission, purpose and goals set forth in our constitution. Due to shifting modes of communication and technology, influences of falling membership, general loss of interest and the inability to fill board positions, the New York State Nutrition Council no longer has a viable niche. After careful consideration and heart wrenching decisions, the executive board and the membership by ballot, have agreed to dissolve the New York State Nutrition Council. The ballot results were: 24 returned 21 voted Yes, with the executive board 1 voted No, against dissolution of the Council 1 abstained 1 unofficial Yes, as an honorary member (no vote according to the constitution) This will be the last issue of The Councilor, and we hope you will find it interesting to read. We have tried to capture some of the highlights of the Council, and sentiments, comments, and responses of the membership. Additionally, you will find statewide and national resources to get the food, nutrition and physical activity information you seek. Most sincere thanks and regards to all, Helene T. Messner, MS, RD, CDN NYSNC Chair, 2007-2010 |
