Convention and Program Planning Committee, Summer Memo 

The NSNA Convention Planning Committee got together via Zoom before our May NSNA Board of Directors Orientation and Board Meeting in NYC. Your convention and planning committee is made up of myself the chair, Cody Mitchel, Mackenzie Simmons, and Bernesha Pope. We are excited to announce our themes for both the MidYear Conference and the Annual Convention. For our MidYear Conference in sunny San Diego, we chose “Forward: Together Towards Tomorrow”, we wanted to incorporate what our lives look like after the COVID-19 pandemic and what we may expect going forward.  For the 72nd Annual NSNA Convention we are thrilled to be in Orlando Florida, right on Disney property! For the Annual convention we chose “ELEVATE: Dreams help make the impossible possible!”.
 
As many of you know we had a lot of resolutions that were passed during our 71st Annual Convention in Nashville. As the Convention Planning committee, we have the opportunity to support each of the NSNA committees chosen resolutions by bringing in guest speakers, educational opportunities, and vendors from across the United States to each convention.
