In response to the decision to invite  Amy Smith, Managing Director of Jenny Craig Australia/ New Zealand  to address the Alliance of Girls Schools conference, ANZAED president Anthea Fursland issued the following statement:

ANZAED is disturbed by the decision to have a keynote speaker who is a representative of the diet industry.

People attending this conference have a large influence on young people, and research has consistently shown that dieting is a major risk factor for the development of eating disorders.
