Thank you, Andrea, for this comprehensive and energizing update! 🌟
It's inspiring to see so many initiatives moving forward with such momentum. Congratulations to the History Task Force for exceeding your interview goal and all the Hall of Fame Award recipients. What a meaningful milestone in preserving and honoring our collective story.
The move to TEAMS for SIG networking calls is a great decision to foster more engagement, and I'm excited to dive into the Telehealth and NSI recordings. Also, huge kudos to the Inclusion & Belonging and Publications Committees for the successful volunteer responses-those numbers speak volumes about our members' passion for shaping the future.
Looking forward to the "Power of Nurses' Voices" webinar in June and the new opportunities in the Core Revision and TTC GAPs. The growth in the Telephone Triage Course is stimulating and reflects the continued value of what we offer.
I appreciate the strides made and cheer everyone on as the Strive for Five campaign launches next week! Let's grow this community together.
In gratitude and solidarity,
