Since the early days of SNEB, there has been support among the membership for the Society to take an active role in educating members about nutrition policy. The membership has supported establishing and maintaining an active public policy program. The resolutions process is one of the mechanisms for members, or groups of members, to bring forth policy positions for discussion and vote by the membership. Resolutions provide a route for members to propose that SNEB adopt a position, take an action, or endorse a policy or principles in a formal manner. Learn more about the resolutions process.

Scientific Evidence for the Mediterranean Diet-Style Eating Pattern
April 12 | 1 - 2 p.m. EDT
Speaker: Immaculata De Vivo, MPH, PhD, Harvard University
The Mediterranean diet has been consistently linked with health benefits, including reduced mortality and reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease. When the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans was released, healthy eating patterns, rather than the amounts of specific nutrients, was the main thrust of the guidelines. One of these patterns is the Healthy Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern. This webinar will explain the scientific evidence behind the recommendation of this diet.
