9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Opening Session Be Bold: Becoming a Catalyst of Change Unlock your potential as an advocate for meaningful change. Nurses are uniquely well-positioned to collaborate with disciplines outside nursing and healthcare to influence decisions about our profession, populations, and the planet. As we move forward in a post-pandemic world, nurses must work together to abolish inequities within societies, healthcare systems, and even within our profession. Though advocacy has always been central to nursing, how do we focus our advocacy for the future? Taking stock of our past, the present, and potential futures can help us determine the right course of action. Being a change agent requires Being Bold. Speaker: Kenneth W.
