Virtual AONL Advocacy Day
Advocate for your patients | May 26-27
Join nurse leaders from across the country for a two-day virtual Advocacy Day. Learn how to advocate effectively – sharing your story about the impact of national issues on your patients, community and nursing teams. Legislators want to hear directly from you about how these issues affect their constituents and what they can do to support you.
Why should you participate?
Advocacy Day is an opportunity to elevate the voice of nursing leadership. AONL will teach you the skills to become an effective citizen advocate and connect you with other nurse leaders in your state. AONL makes advocating easy by pairing you with fellow advocates and arranging meetings for you and your partners to meet virtually with legislators.
Registration includes education credit, networking and several scheduled meetings with legislators.
Registration Fee: $50.00
Group Registration: Groups of five or more from the same organization save an additional $10.00/person. Please contact Marthe Forster to inquire about group registrations.
