Call for Region 3 Collaborative Panelists
Posted over 8 years ago by Charlene Trimeloni
Dear Chapter Leader:
I am writing to you on behalf of the Greater Johnstown Chapter of AACN. We are hosting the Region 3 Collaborative on October 5-6, 2017. We will be hosting an evening educational dinner and networking session on Thursday, October 5th and an all-day education seminar on Friday, October 6th in Johnstown, PA. We have recruited an agenda full of engaging clinical and leadership speakers including soon to be President Christine S. Schulman.
As part of the seminar, we are inviting speakers for Region 3 chapters to participate in a panel presentation. We would like each chapter to present what they think is the biggest clinical challenges for acute and critical care nurses within your chapter community and how your chapter helps nurses over-come these challenges. As a leader within your chapter, we need your help recruiting a speaker to participate on the panel.
The panelist would be committed to attend the seminar on Friday, October 6th in Johnstown, PA for and would be provided a registration honorarium for the event for participation. The panelist will present for 10 minutes on the background information related to the major clinical challenges facing nurses within your chapter’s geographic region and a 5 minute discussion on ways their chapter provides support to help nurses overcome these challenges. The panelist would then be asked, along with the other chapter panelists, to respond to panel questions from the audience. Our goal is to have representation from four chapters and for the panel presentation to be about 90 minutes in length. We really rely on your help to make this successful.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have on the presentation or the collaborative meeting. Lodging is available at the Holiday Inn Downtown Johnstown (use rate code ACC). We are excited to host the chapters from Region 3 for these events and hope that as you are making plans for your chapter FY 17-18 budget to include attendance at the event.
Please respond with your willingness to be a panelist before June 4, 2017.
Thank you,
The Greater Johnstown Chapter of AACN Region 3 Collaborative Planning Committee Chairs
