The Retired Air Force Dietitians Association was formally incorporated on October 12, 1987 in San Antonio, TX by retired dietitians of the United States Air Force.
The association was created in order to "stimulate love of country and the flag; to foster camaraderie, offering support, and social opportunities for the members; to present the interests of members, through periodic communications; to cherish shared memories and contribute; to the preservation of Air Force dietetic history; to service as a communications link between retired and active duty Air Force dietitians; and to advocate the desirability of a career in Air Force dietetics." Individuals are eligible to join the association if they are retired dietitians of the Air Force Women's Specialist Corps, Air Force Specialist Corps, or Air Force Biosciences Corps, or if they are dietitians in the Air Force Biomedical Sciences Corps with at least 16 years of active service. The association is composed of members, regional directors, a board of directors, and officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) and has meetings of all its members biennially. The association publishes a newsletter twice a year and has created a film and a book, Fifty Years of Air Force Dietetics, 1949-1999, which recounts the history and accomplishments of dietitians in the United States Air Force.
