This year’s theme is Sustainable Leadership…Creating a Lasting Impact, emphasizing the critical role of nursing leaders in fostering sustainability within and across the healthcare sector, highlighting the importance of leadership development, practices that empower change, and education that supports the well-being of the nursing workforce, the longevity of healthcare initiatives, and the overall sustainability of healthcare systems. This conference will focus on sustainable practices that empower nurse leaders to make a lasting impact within their organizations and communities.
