This upcoming year the Consumer Protection Coordinator (CPC) position which serves a 2-year term will be open. The 2-year term of Licensure Liaison will also be open.

Laura J. Kruskall, PhD, RDN, CSSD, LD, FACSM, FAND, serves as both the current CPC and Licensure Liaison for NvAND. Dr Kruskall currently works at UNLV in the Nutrition Sciences department. Dr. Kruskall is Founding Director of UNLV Dietetic Internship, MS Nutrition Sciences program and the UNLV Nutrition Center.

Dr. Kruskall has volunteered on the NvAND board numerous times in the past. The positions held include Media Rep, Nominating Committee, President (2010-2011), CPC (2018-Present), Annual Meeting Chair (2018-2019). Dr. Kruskal reports she has learned about the legislative proves, developed several lasting professional relationships and developed administrative skills while serving on the board. 

Dr. Kruskall states that leadership is important to advance the profession and she joined the board to not only serve as a role model for my students but also to take the lead as President to obtain licensure. Writing the Bill for licensure and seeing that process through has been the most rewarding experience she has had while serving on the board.
