3^rd Annual

Dining at the Capitol

May 13, 2010

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 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 recipes brought by participating organizations make a complete, healthy meal.  Each year we expect approximately 600-700 people to attend the event, including legislators, their staff members, public officials, ODA members, and the citizens of Oklahoma.  Guidelines and participation forms are available from the ODA Central Office.   

How can ODA members participate?

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 the staff members.
