CEPH program manager contributes chapters to nutrition book

Lori A. Kaley, M.S., RDN, LD, M.S.B., program manager for Maine SNAP-Ed at the Center for Excellence in Public Health (CEPH), is a contributing author for a recently published book on nutrition.

“Communicating Nutrition: The Authoritative Guide” is an essential resource for nutrition students, interns, and current nutrition professionals. Published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, it is written and reviewed by experienced nutrition communicators and educators to provide the knowledge and skills needed to develop and deliver all types of communication in a variety of settings.

The book's 42 chapters are presented in eight sections, each with an opening showcase featuring a communication success story and applied advice.

Kaley co-authored both Chapter 7, “Nutrition Communicators Clearly Communicate Science,” and Chapter 39, “Business Communication Demonstrates Professionalism.” 

Maine SNAP-Ed, implemented by UNE through a contract with Maine’s Office for Family Independence, uses evidence-based direct education curricula, multi-level community-based policy, systems and environmental change initiatives, and social marketing strategies to address food insecurity and obesity prevention in low-resource communities across the state.
