Preferred term

American Dietetic Association  

Definition

  • The American Dietetic Association (ADA) was founded in 1917 by a group of women, including Lenna F. Cooper and Lulu C. Graves (the first president of ADA), who were dedicated to improving public health and nutrition and aiding the government in conserving food during World War I. Today, the ADA has approximately 65,000 members and is the largest organization of food and nutrition professionals in the United States. About 75 percent of ADA members are registered dietitians; other members include registered dietetic technicians, clinical and community dietetics professionals, educators and researchers, nutritionists, food service managers, and students.
