Call for Applications: Working Group for Reconciliation Standard of Practice

Dear Regulated Members,

Development of a Reconciliation Standard of Practice

Reconciliation is a priority action area of the College of Dietitians of Alberta Council. There is a strong connection between food and Indigenous reconciliation in Canada. Over the past couple of years, the College Council has developed a Reconciliation Action Plan. As part of this work, the College will begin development of a Reconciliation Standard of Practice. Reconciliation is about working with Indigenous people in taking action to positively influence the health and well-being of Indigenous people in this province.

In the spirit of reconciliation, the College is reaching out to our Indigenous colleagues to participate on a working group to assist with the development of this standard. Working group members will gain skills, knowledge, and experience in policy development and contribute to the reconciliation efforts of the College and profession.

If you are an Indigenous Registered Dietitian and would like to contribute to developing a Reconciliation Standard of Practice, we invite you to join the working group.

We ask that Indigenous RDs provide a letter of interest which includes the following:

1. How your life experience informs your perspective.
2. Why do you want to be on the working group.
3. What can you bring to the working group on:
   1. Leadership
   2. Teamwork and Relationship Building
   3. Strategic Thinking
4. Current or past work in reconciliation.

A CV/resume should also be submitted with your letter of interest.

The deadline for submissions will be December 16, 2022. Please provide your application to the College office by email at office@collegeofdietitians.ab.ca.

If you have any questions, please contact Doug Cook, Registrar at 780-448-0059 or by email to registrar@collegeofdietitians.ab.ca.
