Connect With Colleagues at Regional Meetings
Learn About AACN Initiatives and Leadership Opportunities
Connect with colleagues from your area as you learn about AACN chapter and national initiatives during fall regional meetings scheduled throughout the country. These daylong meetings provide participants a chance to identify helpful resources and opportunities to develop leadership skills. Although Fall Regional Meetings are hosted by chapters, they are open to members who are not chapter members and to critical care nurses who are interested in AACN. In some regions, chapters sponsor educational programs in conjunction with the meetings.
Chapter Advisory Team members representing each region, as well as representatives of the AACN national leadership team, attend these meetings to answer questions and hear grassroots feedback.
