On behalf of the Massachusetts Nurses Associations, I invite you to attend the MNA Convention 2000 being held this year in Boston at the World Trade Center on November 8, 9 & 10. This year’s scheduled programs will cover a wide range of timely topics including: a discussion of promotion of a respectful work environment to be offered by the MNA Center for Ethics; a perspective on the politics of health care provided by Massachusetts Congressman James McGovern (D-Worcester); a Canadian nurse’s perspective on single payer; and a keynote presentation by Lucian Leape, MD on medical error prevention. 

In addition, all members are encouraged to attend the annual MNA business meeting at no cost beginning at 1 p.m. on Thursday. This year, during the business meeting, members present will decide with their vote whether MNA will dissafiliate from the American Nurses Association. The outcome of that critical vote will undoubtedly set the future course for MNA and nursing in Massachusetts. 

Mark your calendars now and plan to join us at Convention. For anyone who has never before attended, I can guarantee you that sharing the experience of Convention with nurses from across the state will empower and energize you in your practice and remind you (if you need to be reminded) of what drew you to become a part of the profession in the first place.
