<strong>2021</strong> WYOMING NURSING SUMMIT & CONVENTION<br />

12:40 Membership Comment and Open Forum<br />

Veronica Taylor – topic of WNLI (WY <strong>Nursing</strong><br />

Leadership Institute). Veronica was contacted<br />

by a past participant of WNLI asking for help<br />

with her graduate project. The student would<br />

like to revisit and revise WNLI. They have<br />

formed a small advisory board, which has met<br />

3 times. They hope to start in Jan or Feb.<br />

They plan on 2 face-face sessions and 2<br />

virtual sessions per month. They hope that<br />

WNA will support the effort and possibly assist<br />

with getting information out.<br />

Legislator Days- Nurses at the Legislator in<br />

out to vote. Multiple resources available to<br />

encourage voting. Nursesvote.org<br />
