Summer is Almost Here!
Posted about 10 years ago by James F. Lawrence
Hello Members and Followers of UAPRN Georgia !!
I would like to make a a few requests. It's that time again and Dr. Nelson and I are underway on the design and plan for the UAPRN summer newsletter. Chapter presidents, this is your opportunity to brag and show off a little and show the rest of the state all the wonderful things taking place in your chapter and with your members! I would love to receive pictures, descriptions of fascinating events that have occurred in your chapter, exciting news about your members i.e. promotions, graduation, new certifications, new appointments etc., specific goals reached in your chapter- everthing is up for review for consideration for publication.
I have said from the very beginning when I created the UAPRN newsletter almost 3 years ago, its intent was to serve as another mechanism of communication across the state among our members as well as to serve as an instrument to bridge the gap between us by unifying us under this very important communication venue. Thus, this is your newsletter. Please send me data that represents our diversity and talent among more than 500 men and women. Finally, remember with our new format, any submission that is included in the newsletter may be viewed as a professional peer review publication and should be references as such in your CV. The deadline for submissions to the summer 2015 UAPRN newsletter is June 13, 2015 at 5:00pm. Please submit your articles, pictures, and reflections to me at jflaprn@gmail.com.
Earlier in the month, I heard from a few of you stating that there had been some "electronic glitches" on our UAPRN website while attempting to renew your membership or join our organization initially. Allow me to say "thank you" for your diligence in this very easy process. However, if there is ever a technical problem while doing this or any task on our site, copy the error message and number of the error message and alert Andrew Keller at akeller@enpnetwork.com immediately. He can then readily pull up the error very quickly with the correct data that you provide to him and rectify the situation usually quite effortlessly.
I would like to know if any UAPRN chapter president will be attending the AANP national conference in New Orleans, June 9-13, 2015. Due to scheduling conflicts, I am very fortunate and quite blessed to report that I will be spending time that week in DC assisting in the preparation of July's White House Conference on Aging that I have been invited to participate in. Hence, I will not be in attendance in New Orleans. If you will be attending, can you please contact me at your earliest opportunity at 404-202-5847?
I encourage all of our members and followers to take time for themselves this summer and celebrate all the beauty that our mother Earth has to offer and allow it to provide you with respite, peace of mind and spirit this summer.
I remain your committed leader,
