Welcome School Nurses to WASN and its website:
 
There is a DPI Public Hearing on July 30, 2010 from 1:00- 3:30 on the rule mandating a BSN as a minimum for school nursing practice. If you are available to attend that afternoon, please let Kathy Brockman, Chair of the Legislative Committee know by email MBrockman3@new.rr.com
 
Beginning in January 2011, WASN will recognize both the School Nurse of the Year and the School Nurse Administrator of the Year!!
 
The newly approved bylaws have been posted on the website. We also archive the newsletters.
 
The Board of Directors will revise the Strategic Plan this summer as well as revising the Operations Manual.
 
We welcome new Board members: Louise Wilson, from Beaver Dam as President-elect, Nancy Smith, from Superior and Anita Schubring from Altoona as the new District 1 Co-directors.
 
We are looking for a new Nomination Chair for WASN, a big thank you to Twyla Lato for her help this spring.
 
The WASN Calendars will be mailed out in July. Thanks to District 4 for the colorful artwork for the cover.
 
If you would like to share a concern or idea, please email me at riojasak@milwaukee.k12.wi.us
Have a great summer.
 
Ann Riojas, President
