Everyone,

We are approximately 5 weeks away from celebrating the 2015 national nurse practitioner week!  Chapter presidents if you have not engaged your members in any dates, please do so now. As we did last year, November 6th and 7th or November 14th or 15th will be our designated community service days. For those of you who are unaware of the events from the past two years, UAPRN Georgia has tied our state-wide community service days and events in with national nurse practitioner week. In fact, two years ago, we were the first state in the country of APRNs engaged state-wide on a designated date in which we gave back to our communities in various ways.

I say all of this as it caught many eyes from a national level and we were recognized for our passion and committment as APRNs in giving back to the citizens in our communities and for our leadership to do so. Two years ago we were recognized by a national public health magazine and last year our very own First Lady telephone me to extend her personal appreciation from the President and herself in our 2014 efforts.

Let's try to impress all those eyes who will be upon us by coming up with some creative ideas in giving back to our local communities. And, please,please let me know about it so I may "toot your own horns" as I love to do about our chapters throughout the state!!

Attached is a flyer that I request that you download and make multiple copies of and place in your work place after receiving permission. I recommend posting it the week before NP week and the week of NP week.

Please also send me some of your ideas on ways that we may celebrate this special week. The most creative idea submitted to me will receive a suprise cash award and ideas need to be submitted to me no later than October 30, 2015 at 1700 to qualify for the creative cash award.

All my thanks ahead of time as you plan for this celebratory week and keep your eyes open for another posting announcing something we will be launching during national NP week !!

Thank you to all of our members !!
