The dust has settled, the book is closed! The 26th Annual PNAA National Convention had come and gone, but we had made a legacy in PNAA's history. My email was overflowing with good comments from the various leaders of PNAA and its constituent Chapters. Their messages were commendations and congratulations for a "job well done", where they have seen our teamwork at its best, a very organized and successful convention. All the delegates went home with a lot of stories to tell- good food, good education and fun activities. Mila Velasquez, the PNAA President wrote:
"I ,again in record, highly commend the Greater Kansas City Chapter for their teamwork, commitment, creativity, and sustained energy to help achieve the mission and goals of PNAA. On behalf of PNAA, I sincerely extend our warmest gratitude and recognition of the dynamic leadership of Ernie Rosas, overall coordinator, Irma Labre-Wright, President, GKC Chapter, Beth Rosas, President-elect, GKC Chapter, Rizvend Pecana, RLO, North Central Region, Dr Lillian Pardo, community leader, and the whole GKC Chapter and the community for their synergy in showcasing the beauty, and warm hospitality of Kansas City."
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and vendors. They are the major factor in the financial success of this convention. For the first time in the history of PNAA, the national convention was profitable. With the proceeds of this event, PNAGKC was able to give back to PNAA the $2000 seed money; was able to share with them $2000; was able to donate $2000 to the PNA Foundation; and was able to give $1000 to PNAA as a co-sponsor of the upcoming International Nursing Conference in Hawaii-- a total of $7,000. I, therefore, would like to special mention our sponsors:
Western Union--Title Sponsor
Blue Cross Blue Shield of KC--Gold Sponsor
Kindred Hospital of KC- Gold Sponsor
VA Hospital--Silver Sponsor
North KC Hospital--Silver Sponsor
Truman Medical Center--Silver Sponsor
CGFNS--Shuttle Bus Sponsor
Pearson Vue- Suttle Bus Sponsor
