Networking

Today I got to have lunch with another RD who is also in a Nutrition Specialist position for an NGO here in Washington. She was throwing out acronyms and technical vocabulary, and, I understood what she was talking about! We were able to each contribute to the other's knowledge base - me, telling her about how we did growth promotion in a development context in Bolivia (her organization does more relief type work), and her, telling me about what collaborative groups to network with to meet other nutritionists out of our normal sphere of influence. I really enjoyed talking with her!
