Compass Group founded the RDN Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Network to lead efforts to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion within the company, the profession, and the industry. The Network is committed to:

– Encouraging, supporting, and mentoring diverse students pursuing dietetics careers;

– Attracting and retaining diverse candidates to the Compass internship program and RDN positions;

– Expanding cultural humility across food and nutrition services.

Network Co-Chairs

Responsible for overseeing, guiding, and supporting the network to drive results.

Dan Connolly, Bon Appétit Management Company

“I’m so inspired by the passion of this team!

“Our goals are big and bold – but to change an organization, a profession, and an industry, we must think big and bold. Compass Group has always been a leader and, as one of the largest employers of RDNs, is in a unique position to influence the dietetics profession. The RDN DEI network has only just begun our work, but I am confident that we will look back at this moment as the beginning of something transformative.” – Dan Connolly

“The Compass Group RDN DEI Network is a budding and blossoming council of dietitians coming together to promote and celebrate the diversity of all our RDN colleagues”

“I am proud to be apart of this network and I am fully committed to actively working toward accelerating the diversity, equity, and inclusivity for all Compass dietitians and for the entire dietetics profession” – Sunitha Zechariah
