AADE New Years Resolution

AADE New Year’s Resolution Getting More Involved As 2017 comes to a close I would like to say thank you to each and every member of AADE for all that you do on a daily basis to care for those with diabetes. With that said I would like to encourage you to make a resolution to become more involved in 2018. As Kim Sinclair has brought to our attention in previous blogs this organization is “fueled by volunteers”. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to make a difference within AADE, which ultimately will impact that care we provide to our patients. So when considering your New Year’s resolutions why not make 2018 the year you decide to become involved! ...

On behalf of GA AADE, I would like to thank Dawn Taylor of Valdosta, for her leadership for the Coordinating Body over the past year. This organization as you know is "fueled by volunteers" and Dawn has spent countless hours keeping us on track. Even as I have agreed to step into this position for the coming year, she has agreed to stay on as chairman, emeritus as I begin to find my way. Thank you Dawn for all the countless hours you have invested. A special thank you is also due to the other members of the coordinating body who have actively volunteered, some for many years. Their "corporate" knowledge and technical expertise has been invaluable to our ...

Be an Inspiration to All, Including Yourself!

By Katie Mick posted 06-30-2017
Be the first person to recommend this.
Here is great food for thought from one of our Atlanta Coordinating Body Members! Be an Inspiration to All, Including Yourself! How long have you been a diabetes educator? One year? 15 years? How do you stay motivated in order to inspire behavior change in your patients or staff? If you are reading this blog, then you are a role model to your patients and most likely to your family as well. Finding inspiration and joy in every day existence can be trying. Being human equates to life stress: family, relationships, health, job and even traffic (if you live in Atlanta!). There is nothing like traveling to make you feel inspired and grateful for ...

Blogging Etiquette

Be the first person to recommend this.
If you are like me, I wondered, “what’s a blog”? Blogs are web-logs, informative news or articles about specific topics. So what are some basic rules of etiquette for blogging? Here is some commonsense pointers from Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee ( http://www.drdaveanddee.com/blogetiquette.html) : Respect the views of other bloggers. You can have a dissenting opinion and still be respectful. Before you hit submit, re-read your entry. Never reply with personal attacks. Discuss issues in a mature manner. Refrain from using foul or vulgar language; it turns people off Apologize if you make a mistake or give erroneous information Use correct ...

What in the world is the Coordinating Body or a Local Networking Group?

By Bethany Jagdharry posted 04-13-2015
1 person recommends this.
Those are such great questions! Let's break it down a bit: AADE stands for American Association of Diabetes Educators. Wow! All of America?! How does such a large, national organization help people all the way down in Georgia? Well, that's where the CB comes into play. The CB stands for the Coordianting Body. The CB is a state level arm of AADE that helps every state communicate, benefit, learn from and plan with AADE. The CB is usually a small group of volunteers (Georgia currently has 4 CB Members) who work for about 2 years to improve things from state wide conferences to start up and continuations of LNGs. LNG stands for Local Networking Group. ...
