Photos: 2024 Union Leadership Conference

Union leaders from 32 local units converged to celebrate victories, hear from labor leaders, and learn how to strengthen nursing's voice.

WSNA’s Union Leadership Conference was held at Campbell’s Resort in Chelan from April 28-30, 2024, with record-breaking attendance. Originally planned for 150 participants, the event sold out quickly, prompting the creation of overflow capacity to accommodate 192 nurse leaders representing 32 local units across Washington state.
