January 2010
It is hard to believe we are starting a new decade! The past ten years have been quite a journey for CTAPRNs. We saw membership increase. We now have over 500 members. The conferences have gotten bigger and better every year attracting more prominent national speakers. We have developed and inproved our website. It is a great way to keep connected and share information. We have hired a lobbyist to represent our interests legislatively. There has been a presence in Hartford with introduction of bills and testimony from many members. CTAPRNs is getting recognized in our capitol city. There has been an effort to have a presence in our communities: NBC 30 Health and Wellness Expo, giving lectures, educating the public, TV and radio coverage, newpaper and blogging. Fiscal repsonsibility to grow the organization with membership recruitment and retention, donation capabilities, merchandise, scholarship opportunities and soon corporate sponsorships to maintain our viability. Newsletters keep us in touch with the health of our organization and its activities, recently going GREEN with e-mail blasting. Recognition of our peers with the APRN of the Year award and newsletter highlights of inspiring individuals and partnering with our national organizations to nominate APRNs and Advocates for AANP awards continue to promote APRNs who excel beyond expectations. None of this would be possible without the number of volunteers who served over the past ten years in board and committee positions. Thanks to all who have come before us to guide and mentor this organization. I can only imagine what the first CTAPRN (CNPGI) meeting must have been like many years ago. Those APRNs should be extremely proud of what they had invisioned and where we are now. Where will we be in ten years from now.......
Thank you once again for your continued support of CTPARNs.
Fondly,
Lynn Rapsilber MSN ANP-BC
President
