INF REPORT<br />

Members: Lorinda Inman, Chair; Kim Bergen-Jackson, Secretary; Pamela Deichmann,<br />

Treasurer; Christine Kessel, Christina Peterson; and Dawn Bowker. The <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Nurses</strong><br />

Foundation held three meetings commencing October, 2018, and subcommittee<br />

meetings for investment review, marketing, scholarship review and convention<br />

planning.<br />

Goals for the year continued as the previous year. The goals were to focus on quality<br />

continuing education at convention and legislative day, promote attendance at the<br />

annual convention, explore fundraising ideas and develop goals and strategies for the<br />

marketing and the fundraising functions of the Foundation. It continues to be critical<br />

that INA members give to the INF on an annual basis to fund nursing scholarships.<br />
