Why You Belong There

The WSNA Leadership Conference isn't just for people with titles. It’s for the nurse who is tired of feeling powerless. It’s for the advocate who knows our profession deserves better. It’s for you.

By attending, you aren't just taking a break from the floor, you’re gaining the tools to fix the floor. You’ll leave with:

• Advanced Advocacy Skills: Learn how to navigate grievances, Investigatory Meetings, staffing committees, or to level up nurse engagement.
• Policy Insights: Get the latest on the legislative battles happening in Olympia.
• A Support Network: Connect with a brotherhood and sisterhood of nurses who have your back, and grow relationships statewide.

Don’t just wish for change. Lead it.

Date: April 26-April 28 at the Wenatchee Convention Center.
