If it is not and you want to change it, click on the the Academy Payments button at the top of the page. This will bring up a page where you can select Kansas as your affiliate state.

KSAND receives the majority of its funding from the rebate provided by the Academy to the affiliate from the Academy membership dues. If all registered dietitians in Kansas were Academy members, then KSAND would be able to offer even more member benefits. So members, please invite your colleagues to join the Academy/KSAND. Take the challenge and recruit Kansas dietitians to become active members of KSAND. Together, we can make a difference.
