5^th Annual

Dining at the Capitol

March 1, 2012

 

What is it?

In 2008, the Oklahoma Dietetic Association began a partnership with Oklahoma’s Agricultural Community and created this event to emphasize Oklahoma’s natural products. Every year, our goal is to educate state legislators and their staff members about dietitians and the benefits of using Oklahoma’s natural products to promote good health across the state.

How can ODA members participate?

In the morning, prior to our Dining at the Capitol event, members can participate in our additional Legislative Day activities. Attend our education session, and receive 1.0 CPE hour. Later that day, apply the tools from the education session and visit with your legislators to education them about ODA, the dietetic profession, and how we can be a useful tool when considering legislation about the health and nutrition of Oklahomans. Prior to your meetings with legislators, ODA will equip you with a packet full of materials and information about our association and the dietetic profession. Then, come and enjoy lunch on the 4th Floor Rotunda at the capitol between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Promote RDs and DTRs to our legislators and their staff members.

How can organizations within the Agricultural Community participate?

Participating organizations prepare and bring a health recipe to serve between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. The combined recipes brought by participating organizations make a complete, healthy meal. Each year we expect approximately 500 people to attend the event, including legislators, their staff members, public officials, ODA members, and the citizens of Oklahoma. Guidelines and participation forms will be available soon from the ODA Central Office.
