Our leadership team has arranged another dynamite Nursing Summit program!  As in the past, the major feature will be opportunities to network and meet other nurses dedicated to improving LGBTQ health and healthcare. The program is packed with variety, including several “student pop-up presentations,” our “speed meeting” event, a skill-building feature, a report from LSU founders of a “safe zone” type of program for healthcare providers, and  keynote speakers Jose Pares-Avila, DNP, RN, ARNP, NP-C from Seattle and Dane Menkin, MSN, CRNP, AAHIVM from Philadelphia!

OBJECTIVES:

1. Facilitate an environment that promotes networking and nurtures leadership skills among participants.
2. Build upon the progress made by GLMA Nursing Section interest groups (education and training, patient/clinical care, policy, research, and climate) over the past year.
3. Apply new skills to facilitate outcomes.
