WSNA Introduces Speakers Bureau

Our speakers address a wide range of topics of critical importance to nurses throughout our state. The speakers listed will provide at least a 1.0 contact hour lecture on behalf of WSNA.

These lectures are provided at no cost to WSNA Districts, Local Units, or Schools of Nursing. Other organizations pay $250 in addition to the speaker’s travel and lodging expenses.
