- Christy Figueredo was awarded the 2025 CPNP Nutrition Advocate Award!
- Wendy Elverson was awarded the 2025 CPNP Dietitian of Excellence Award!

- CPNP social event was attended by many members this year and we had a blast getting to meet in person in Chicago! A total of 129 dietitians attended the annual meeting.
- 10 dietetic students attended as part of the 1st ever Teaching & Tomorrow Dietetics Program.
- Our membership was strong with a total of 388 members in CPNP!

As we get our 2026 started, we look forward to more engagement through the listserv, podcasts, conferences, and these posts! Continue to use our community to advance the care we are able to provide to our patients and their families.
