The lead up to 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife marks a turning point in how community health nursing contributes to the health of the population through system level transformation.

We identify the following objectives for this national conversation:
- Identify the meaning of system transformation in the context of community health nursing
- Explore nursing roles and opportunities for system transformation in present and future states
- Think critically about contemporary global policy influences on nursing and health policy
- Analyze the current capacity of the professional nursing organizations in system transformation
