Hello GNAO members,
Happy New Year! We hope 2019 is off to a great start. We have been working hard behind the scenes to bring you new ways to connect with GNAO as well as to continue to enhance our communication. With that in mind, we hope to deliver email messages just like this monthly (perhaps less in the summer when we have vacation on our mind & more during peak times like before our AGM). These emails will share with you exciting learning opportunities hosted by our GNAO chapters as well as relevant education and networking events hosted our partners. We hope you find this increase in communication helpful. We look forward to the potential to share more often and to continue to engage with you, our valued members!
Below you will find information about our AGM and available provincial board positions (see attached documents). We are also excited to share details about #CGNA2019, the biennial conference held by CGNA, this year hosted by the Alberta Gerontological Nursing Association.

Warm regards,
Your GNAO Provincial Board
