Mission:
We are the advocate of the dietetic profession serving the public through promotion of optimal nutrition, health, and well being.
The Fort Worth Dietetic Association is an educational organization for dietetic professionals and dietetic students. Through our scholarship donation efforts, we support qualified dietetic educational programs in area universities. FWDA represents dietetic professionals in Tarrant, Parker, Hood , Johnson, Hill, Erath, and Somervell counties.
