District 6 Report<br />
Debby Lee, BSN, RN-BC President<br />
MNA District 6 region includes Great Falls, Havre, Lewistown, Cut Bank<br />
and surrounding areas. In October 2016, we reached out to all those from<br />
District 6 attending the MNA convention trying to recruit active members<br />
interested in becoming more involved at the district level. Nurses from Great<br />
Falls, Lewistown, Havre, Sweet Grass Clinic, and Cascade County Health<br />
Department all joined to network and discuss current nursing issues in<br />
<strong>Montana</strong>.<br />
This year we have held two meetings to date. At the February meeting, held in Lewistown, nominations for<br />
the district elections including House Delegates for the Convention were completed along with Legislative<br />
updates. Issues were discussed including the bill on Workplace violence. A CE activity on Workplace<br />
Wellness from Joey Traywick (recorded earlier) was provided as our education activity.<br />
At the June meeting, held in Great Falls, elections were held. Sue Swan presented QPR suicide prevention<br />
education. We were glad to have a few more fellow District 6 members from Benefis and Cascade County<br />
Health Department join us at this meeting for fellowship and networking among nurses.<br />
A meeting for August 26, <strong>2017</strong> at 1200 in Havre is in the planning stages. As we go forward, District 6 will<br />
have the MNA <strong>of</strong>fice send out notifications about District meetings so please open and read those emails!<br />
We look forward to another great year and will hold a District 6 meeting at Convention so please reach<br />
out to us if you are from District 6! The next meeting after Convention will be held in Lewistown in<br />
February 2018. Further details will follow.<br />
District 6 Officers include:<br />
