GAPNA Continues to Grow in Numbers

The Chapter Leadership "Sweet 18" Presidents and Vice-Presidents are looking forward to each other’s company at the Annual Conference in New Orleans.

The past few months, the group has added resources to the Conference Toolkit.

They continue to support each other by sharing strategies to increase membership engagement, participate in each other’s educational zoom webinars, and the national initiatives e.g. Dr. Jennifer Kim Presidents Challenge, "We Are Your People Campaign" and the Chapter "Membership Madness Challenge".

Congratulations to the Texas Chapter on being the 2023 Chapter Membership Madness winner! The Texas Chapter recruited 28 new members, either first time members or individuals re-joining after not being a member for at least one year.

Two other chapters came close, with Northern California in 2nd place with 26 new members and Great Lakes in 3rd place with 23 new members. WOW!

Over the next couple months, the group will be creating a Student Night Out Resource Kit to help engage APN students with GAPNA.

Best,
