The Unity Conference is Coming…Have You Signed Up!!

Catherine Futch, President, GNF

Michelle Nelson, State President, UAPRN

Something very special is happening this year.  We (Georgia nurses) are holding a first ever Unity Conference.  The focus of this conference is two-fold.  The first is to provide meaningful content for all those who attend.  The second is to bring all nurses together as we seek to understand and act on that which is important to all nurses in the State of Georgia. 

You might wonder why we would want to do this.  We do it because we know that when nurses come together for a common cause great things can happen.  This year we will come together to understand what is important to nurses and nursing in Georgia.  We do this in order to form our legislative goals for 2019.  Our belief is that when nurses get together for a common cause we can benefit the profession and each of us.  No matter what your title (staff nurse, dean, educator, advanced practice nurse, CNO and so many more roles we play) we can, together, create a legislative agenda that will be difficult to beat.  We are the largest professional group in Georgia so we know that, together, we can carry a lot of weight.  Our lobbyist will be with us at the Unity Conference…helping us come with one voice to fight for that which is right and essential for nurses and nursing.  Our voices are important so our hope is that you, each of you, will be present with us at our first Unity Conference.

The Unity Conference will be held from October 4, 2018-October 6, 2018.  It is sponsored by United Advanced Practice Registered Nurses of Georgia and the Georgia Nurses Association.  It will be held at the Cobb Galleria Center, 2 Galleria Parkway Southeast, Atlanta, GA. You can register by going to the UAPRN and GNA sites. There will be content that will speak to all who are attending.  So…get going.  Sign up for the Unity Conference.  We need you and your ideas, dreams and expectations for nursing now and into the future.  We look forward to seeing you at the Unity Conference.
