As we move into 2025, I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve as President-Elect of the NJSNA and Chair of the Institute for Nursing. I look forward to serving and advocating for the nurses of New Jersey. Under Peggy’s skilled leadership, the IFN made great strides. We have much for which we are grateful and more to which we look forward in the coming months and years.
I want to take a moment to thank the Board of Trustees and their committees. Their commitment to the IFN and to fulfilling its mission is invaluable.
