Membership:<br />

We are actively striving to increase our membership. Communication is accomplished through emails. We<br />

continue to reach out to nurses throughout the district in various practice settings. At present we have100<br />

members. The board and officers are continually striving to improve our networking and membership. It was<br />

decided in 2014 that we offer one clinical program that provides CEUs to improve appeal to clinical nurses.<br />

I personally want to thank the officers and board members for the tireless work in making this year a success<br />

for District #2. Without their help nothing could have been accomplished: Thank You.<br />
