<strong>2018</strong> Alabama State Nurses Association <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Convention</strong><br />
Patient Education to Decreasing Readmissions for COPD<br />
Promotion and Retention of <strong>ASNA</strong> Membership<br />
The Healthy Nurse - Tools for Mind, Thought and Spirit Wellness<br />
The Impact of Socioeconomic Factors on COPD Readmission<br />
These collaborative projects involve care improvement, educational strategies, and promote networking,<br />
community engagement, and health! These emerging leaders leave a legacy for others to follow as we join<br />
as Alabama Nurses!<br />
The July meeting welcomed new and returning speakers on leadership development and advocacy. Dr.<br />
Lynda Wilson, former Deputy Director of the WHO Collaborating Center at UAB spoke on Nursing<br />
Leadership to Promote Global and Planetary Health. Dr. Margaret Moore-Nadler from University of South<br />
Alabama spoke on Creating Partnerships for the Homeless, and Drs. Berry & Wallis talked about engaging<br />
your Strengths and Interprofessional Collaboration.<br />
Participants were urged to attend one or more local or state board meetings. Participants were asked to go<br />
to the Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) website nursesonboardscoalition.org and register your boards<br />
and intent to serve. Any board service is recognized, from local school board to national/international<br />
organizations. We discussed ways a Leadership Academy Participant could attend the ANA convention<br />
with <strong>ASNA</strong> delegates/observers.<br />
LA alumni have been active in <strong>ASNA</strong> at the District and State level. Some new opportunities are on the<br />
horizon for Leadership Academy Alumni to be involved in the statewide Alabama Health Action Coalition<br />
(AL-HAC) and mentoring across <strong>ASNA</strong> Districts. There are increasing opportunities for nurse leaders to<br />
make a difference!<br />
Please join the <strong>ASNA</strong> Leadership Academy for the project presentations on Friday, October 5, <strong>2018</strong> at the<br />
<strong>ASNA</strong> <strong>Convention</strong>.<br />
