Early Bird Deadline Approaching: AACN's Summer Seminar
|
|
We’re just over a month away from this year’s Summer Seminar! Join us in the majestic Vail, Colorado, July 17-20 for a refreshing and stimulating program that will elevate your leadership skills, strengthen your team's relationships, and magnify the impact you can have on leading change and moving an agenda forward.
 Without self-aware faculty and staff, high-performing teams, and a positive culture, your nursing program may experience challenges in communication, collaboration, productivity, and employee retention. The Meeting of the Minds experience, led by Dr. Frances Lucas, an Advanced Associate with Emergenetics® International and former President of Millsaps College, will empower you to tap into your highest potential and create positive cultures while maximizing organizational performance.
Watch a special message from Dr. Lucas here.
Early Bird Registration Ends on Friday, June 17.
