Our Society's success in advancing excellence in nutrition
research and practice is due in large part to the commitment of
our volunteer leaders. ASN expresses its appreciation to the
following, who have served as President.
American Institute for Nutrition (AIN)

The American Society for Nutrition was founded in 1928 as
the American Institute for Nutrition (AIN). The first annual
