The Georgia Board of Examiners of Licensed Dietitians consists of seven members appointed by the Governor to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. The Board regulates the activities of persons engaged in dietetic practice. The application of scientific knowledge relating to nutrition is important in the treatment of disease and in the attainment and maintenance of health. Trained professional licensed dietitians are found in hospitals, nursing homes, school districts, health departments, private practice and consultation. The Board regulates the integration and application of principles derived from the sciences of nutrition, biochemistry, food, and physiology to achieve and maintain client health.

Board meetings are open to the public and are generally held at the Office of Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division office located at 237 Coliseum Drive, Macon, Georgia. Meeting dates, time and location are posted on this website. Persons wishing to submit complaints or other matters for Board consideration should submit the matter in writing to the office.

In 2009, the spread of the H1N1 flu virus caused the World Health Organization to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6, the highest level. Georgia officials prepared for the H1N1 influenza campaign and the seasonal influenza campaign that occurred during fall and winter. While the H1N1 influenza campaign has ended, The Department of Community Health continues to build its pool of health professionals willing to serve as emergency response volunteers by signing up to assist with future campaigns (i.e. hurricane season).
