Stephanie Schultz, MSM, RDN, CD, the director of Health and Wellness at Skogen’s Festival Foods in De Pere, WI, was named the Retail Dietitian of the Year by the Retail Dietitians Business Alliance (RDBA) at FMI Connect in Chicago. This award recognizes a retail dietitian who shows leadership in utilizing business skills and industry knowledge to positively impact consumer behavior change through the retail sector.  
 
“Stephanie is clearly a business person who also is a skilled dietitian and we congratulate her on her win, but moreover on her leadership and accomplishments,” says Phil Lempert, CEO and president of the RDBA. “This is our first award and she’s a stellar example of how retail dietitians are vital to retail business as well as public health.”
           
As a director of Health and Wellness, Ms. Schultz leads the development and oversight of all nutrition, regulatory, and food safety programming for Festival Foods. She works closely with colleagues, customers, and community partners to educate them on nutrition and food safety topics and services, including assisting with an internal wellness program. 
 
In addition, she contributes to store profitability by increasing customer loyalty through nutrition services, and prevents loss by monitoring food safety standards and assuring compliance with federal guidelines. Ms. Schultz also led the development of the “Eat Well at Festival Foods Deli Program” that includes foodservice items and other products that meet specific nutrition criteria.
 
Ms. Schultz also spearheads six advertisements a year where she creates a recipe and collaborates with other departments to decide which components will run at special prices. She also oversees “The Dietitian’s Pick,” a monthly program that flags 12 products letting customers know dietitians personally recommend the items.
