President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition

The President Council's mission is to engage, educate, and empower all Americans to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity and good nutrition. The President’s Council is a committee of up to 25 volunteer citizens who advise the President through the Secretary of the Department of Heath of Human Services about opportunities to develop accessible, affordable, and sustainable physical activity, fitness, sports, and nutrition programs for all Americans regardless of age, background, or ability. Through partnerships with the public, private, and non-profit sectors, the President's Council promotes programs and initiatives that motivate people to lead active, healthy lives. The Council plays a key role in the development of the administration's programmatic priorities, outreach, and awareness efforts to improve the health and quality of life for all Americans.
