Program Committee

This is a flyer sent out by Janet Mulroy who chairs this committee:
"I am writing to invite you all to participate in the AACN Program Committee for the local chapter. I agreed to facilitate the chapter this year and I would like to include representatives from all the different medical centers in our area. Please consider giving a little of yourself to the development of your profession." Some of the good reasons to volunteer your time to this committee are:

1. Reduced tuition to all local programs. It's almost free! Committee members pay only $15.00 to cover the cost of food at seminars. Quarterly programs are free to all.
2. Fun and fellowship with nurses from all over the Memphis area. You will work side by side and share experiences with nurses from many different backgrounds.
3. A sense of accomplishment. You will receive great satisfaction from assisting with the planning and implementation of educational programs to benefit our nurses and ultimately our patients.
4. It looks good on your resume'. Community service and active membership in a professional organization can boost your career and your annual performance appraisals.
5. You make the decisions. You get to help choose the "theme" and topics presented at quarterly programs and annual seminars.

Some of the things you may be doing are: planning meetings once a month, folding flyers, posting flyers at work, putting handouts together, talking with vendors, introducing speakers, setting up tables and/or decorations, working registration tables, etc. We will take anything you are willing to give. Please consider giving 2 - 4 hours a month to a worthy cause. email JfMulroy@aacn-gmac.org
