Hall of Fame

Established in 1996, the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame recognizes trailblazing nurses at the pinnacle of excellence — those who have transformed the practice, research, educational opportunities, and governing policies of nursing in our state.

This year, we’re proud to induct:

• Gloria Brigham, EdD, MN, RN, CPHRM
• Tami Green, BA, RN, PMH-BC
• Antwinett O. Lee, EdD, MSN-CNS, BSN, RN
• Bob Smithing, MSN, FNP-BC, ARNP, FAANP
• Anita Stull, BSN, RN

Join us in celebrating these exceptional nurses at a gala dinner and induction ceremony on March 19, 2026, at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center.

Induction into the Washington State Nurses Hall of Fame is WSNA’s highest honor, given to nurses who have made significant contributions to the profession of nursing. This is where we recognize the pioneers, the groundbreakers, and the heroes of nursing in Washington state.
