GAND and FCAND have merged to become the...
North Florida Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (NFAND)!
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).

MEETINGS AND EVENTS
GAND hosts engaging speakers four to six times each year (September-May). We hope you'll become a member and join us for a variety of presentations from our engaging speakers (CEU's available). For the 2022-2023 year, our CPE presentations will be virtual via Zoom. In addition, we plan to host other in-person events including socials and community service to engage our community and help create a network and support system for our members!
