  • Formerly the Center for Nutrition Advocacy®, the ANA's advocacy work is rooted in one of our deeply held values. We advance the rights and sustainability of all health practitioners to practice nutrition to the level of their training.
How can I get involved in the ANA Community?

Log into My Portal and whether you are a paid ANA member or a Professional Associate, you can opt into various volunteer opportunities.

As a CNS Supervisor you will help to advance the learning and careers of CNS candidates and, as such, play a key role in the future of the field of nutrition, as it transforms into a foundational tool in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. By supervising CNS candidates, you will also have the opportunity to learn and grow as a mentor, gain support for your practice and add value to your clients' experiences.

How do I pay my CNS Annual Fees?

Annual Fees are paid through the CNS portal. The ability to pay for 2025 will become available in the Spring of 2024.
