"I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at the FDA annual symposium. It was interesting, engaging and innovative. I especially appreciated how you balanced valuable, well organized information with activities that transformed theory into practice. So often we learn new things but never put that knowledge to use. By providing the perfect blend of inspiration, information and implementation you equipped the audience with everything they needed to succeed and make their "dreams" come true!"
-Cindy Heroux, National Speaker and Health Expert
I presided at the FDA Annual Meeting for Melissa Halas-Liang, MA RD CDE. Her presentation was titled “Taking Center Stage as Dietitians: Career Success Stories to Help You Open up Doors for New Career Opportunities”. Melissa was very engaging before, during, and after her presentation. She had many great stories to tell and lessons to share. It is always very encouraging to hear someone who can inspire you to do more, to motivate you to dream new dreams, or to stimulate you to look at things a different way. I personally gave this presentation an “A”. I highly recommend Melissa Halas-Liang to be a presenter at FNCE.
