The MWAOHN Board voted at our last teleconference meeting that we would
send ONE LUCKY MEMBER
to the
AAOHN conference in
Nashvillethis
springApril 22
- 25.All expenses
will be paid up to a limit of $ 2, 500. (you can attend the pre-conference
April 20 - 22 instead of, or in addition to, the regular conference - it's
your choice!)
This is how the raffle will work:
1. You need to be a "card carrying,
paid up member" of AAOHN and MWAOHN (actually, you all are already
in that category - I just got your names from the AAOHN web site's current
paid up member list!) If you have friends who might have let their
membership lapse, tell them about this so they will "re-up" their
membership ASAP.
2. You will need to have attended
at least one (1) of our dinner meetings in the 2011- 2012 season. If you
attended in September or November, you're already qualified. If you have
not attended a meeting yet this season, you need to attend the January
18 or the March 21 meeting.
3. At the March 21 meeting, all members
who qualify will be given a raffle ticket and the raffle ticket will be
drawn out of a special lucky hat. You do not need to be present to win;
Sharon Striker is going to keep track of all qualified members and will
put your raffle ticket into the hat on your behalf. The name of the winner
will be drawn at the beginning of the March 21 meeting, around 6:20 PM.
4. If you know right now that you
cannot go to the AAOHN April Conference in Nashville because of work or
family commitments, please let Sharon Striker know right away. She will
take you off the "contender" list. We don't want to pull the
name of someone who cannot go! Sharon's e-mail is: strikers@si.edu
I'm very excited to be announcing this raffle; I'm very proud that our
board wants to support your continuing professional growth in this way.
Oh, one last thing. If you plan to be in the raffle, make you decision
now about which days of the conference you would like to attend. Then,
SUBMIT YOUR TIME OFF REQUEST
to your supervisor (FOH nurses need
to give time off requests at least a month's ahead. ) If you don't win,
you can remove the time off request easily.
Go browse the AAOHN web site for information about the conference to help
you decide whether to be on the contender list or to decline: https://www.aaohn.org/
