We are excited to share news of a merger with the First Coast (FCAND) and Suncoast Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics! Most of our district’s counties will be merging with FCAND to form the *NEW* NFAND, and Levy/Marion will be merging with Suncoast. 

Starting June 2023, GAND and FCAND members will renew local district membership with NFAND or Suncoast (depending on which county you reside in).
