鈥淚t is a great honor to be a part of the Alliance,鈥� says COPE鈥檚 Director Erin Winterhalter, MPH, RD, LDN, CDE.

The group takes action and makes recommendations to address obesity. 鈥淲e will share research, join efforts on similar projects, and attend meetings with other associate members,鈥� notes Winterhalter.
