Honorary Membership of EFAD is awarded to dietetic colleagues and others who make a significant contribution to the achievement of our Vision, Mission and Strategic Plan. Honorary membership can also be awarded to members of the profession as a reflection of the respect and regard of their colleagues for a particularly important contribution over a long period of time.

Honorary Membership of EFAD is a lifetime honour. Membership is not confined to citizens of Europe however the Honorary Member should have demonstrated a significant and sustained contribution to dietetics.

Recognition of the achievements of the person can be honoured in individual fields or combination of fields of:

  • dietetic education
  • professional practice
  • research and evidence based practice
  • partnership

When the achievements of the individual have also been:

  • demonstrated over more than 10 years
  • actively involved in the work of EFAD and/or the profession at a strategic or national level
  • clearly recognised by others as a role model within a leadership or mentoring capacity

Honorary Members do not have to be EFAD members but must have some ongoing and significant relationship or link to the dietetic profession. It is a means by which EFAD members can recognise those people who are not in the dietetic profession but have supported and contributed to its development and profile.
