OADNOADNApril 14, 2023
NOA has recognized the importance of advocacy and the role nursing associations and their individual members in leading change at the local, state, and national levels. While there is a hunger in our community to make a difference, common obstacles can block our focus or hold us back from achieving this goal. Have you found yourself asking these questions:
Where do I start?
What is my civic duty as a nurse?
Who is my state representative/ how do I find out who this is?
With my position/role at my organization, whose opinions do I promote?
What is the difference between advocacy and lobbying?
I’m just one person, can I make a difference?
Please join us for this series of webinars to hear from two nationally recognized nurse advocates on the steps you can take to embark on your own advocacy journey!
