We Are Proud!
Congratulations are in order to Dr. Jane Tuttle, FNP, PNP,
past President and current board member of the NPAGR on being named the
NPA
2008 Nurse Practitioner of the year!
- Jane will receive the award at the
2008 NPA convention at the NPA Banquet & Awards dinner held on
Saturday night 9/27/08. This award is in addition to the NPAGR
NP of the year award which will be bestowed on Jane at the
October NPAGR program meeting in Rochester.
- This is another great reason for NPA
members to attend the convention! We have of goal of having three more
members attend than last year, which means that we need a total of 10
members going. Right now, there are 5 members from NPAGR registered to
attend. Please go to the website at www.TheNPA.org
to review the convention brochure and to register for some or all of
the convention. Rooms are still available, but are going fast!
The State Fair
It is not too late to help out at the State Fair being held
from August 21 through September1st. In exchange for staffing the NPA
booth for
a four hour shift, the NPA will send you a ticket to get into the Fair
and a
parking pass. Additionally, NPAGR will reimburse volunteers for
mileage. President
C. McCloskey will be volunteering on Saturday 8/23, and Program Chair,
N.
Brinkwart on 8/24. I have heard from at least one other volunteer. It
would be
great to have more NPAGR members assist with this great public
relations
opportunity. When else can you help your profession and enjoy the state
fair at
the same time?
Please sign up today!
Here is the invitation, direct from the NPA
Membership &
Public Affairs Director,Tom Nicotera:
Once
again The NPA is exhibiting at the Great New York State Fair, August 21
through
September 1, 2008. If you have never been to the NYS Fair you
must
attend! It is an experience you will not forget. There are
concerts
and competitions! Exhibitions and extravaganza! Oh, and the
food!
The fair receives nearly 1 million visitors each year. This
is an
excellent opportunity for NPA members to help us educate the general
public
about NP’s and all they do for their patients! As an exhibitor we
are
required to staff our booth 12 hours per day for each of the 12 days of
the fair.
Each volunteer is asked to spend only 4 hours out of their full
day at
the fair. As a volunteer for a 4 hour time slot you will receive
a free
one day admission to the fair (to be used the day you volunteer) AND a
free one
day parking pass to be used in the same manner. You may sign up
for your
day and time by visiting www.TheNPA.org <http://www.thenpa.org/> and
clicking
on the 2008 NYS Volunteer Form link on the home page. If we all
pull
together this year will again be a success. Remember, many hands
make
light work! Support your profession and your association.
Sign up
today, I did!
