The annual GAPNA conference is almost here. If you plan to attend, please contact Karin Broden, NE GAPNA President-Elect. Karin will be holding a chapter meeting during the conference, so please contact Karin at kbroden01@gmail.com to connect with other NE GAPNA members.

Congratulations to Karen Devereaux Melillo who will be awarded the 2015 GAPNA Award for Excellence in Community Service! We are proud of you Karen!

GAPNA Gives Back-During the conference, items will be collected for SCOOP: Southeast Community Outreach for Older People. The goal of this organization is to enable older adults to maintain independence and maximize quality of life. Please consider bringing a donation to contribute such as: notepads, pens, candy, socks, body care items or small gift items.

Finally, the NE GAPNA board is working to provide another full day CE program, connect with students, provide opportunities to disseminate research and create ways for members to network. We have a lot to celebrate and thank all those who have worked for NE GAPNA over the years. If you would like to get involved or learn more, please contact any of the board members.
