Greetings Greater Texas NAPNAP Members,
It is officially September! Although it may not feel quite like Fall out there just yet, we can at least sip on a pumpkin flavored coffee and burn out fall scented candles as we long for cooler temperatures here in Texas. This newsletter kicks off a new year for the Greater Texas NAPNAP Chapter. As we owe a huge thank you to our past president, Ashlyn Coenraad, for all the hard work she demonstrated serving out chapter over the past year, we also wish a warm welcome to our new president Joyce Henry. If you attended our Pharmville Conference last fall, Joyce was one of the Co-Chairs who organized that great event.
If you are new to this chapter, or just have not been as involved as you would like, know there are lots of great things going on behind the scenes. This year, we are able to make two sizeable donations to the YMCA SAW program in both the Dallas and Fort Worth locations. You will be able to read more about that in the article below.
With Texas continuing to work towards less restrictions for nurse practitioners, please keep an eye out for legislative updates from our Legislative Chair, Cathy Lux. Cathy, along with several others in our chapter, are working on making our presence as nurse practitioners known in the political realm of Texas government.
There are several dates to keep in mind as you look through the Fall newsletter, but there will be more opportunities in the upcoming months for education and networking as our board works diligently to plan this years chapter events. I hope this September 1st brings you a sense of hope and renewed encouragement as we get closer to Autumn colors and cooler temps.
Warmest regards,
Lindsey N. Clark, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC
Greater Texas NAPNAP Newsletter Chair
