PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
We are delighted to welcome Margaret Franckhauser, MS, MPH,
RN as this year’s keynote speaker. Building on her 2015 conference
workshops on Leadership Skills in Today’s Healthcare, this year’s

World Order, will address the emerging opportunities for Advance
Practice Leadership and methods to develop oneself as a leader in the
new world order. Ms. Franckhauser is currently the CEO of Central New
Hampshire VNA & Hospice in Laconia, NH and C
​ hair of the Board of the
Endowment for Health.
As always, the conference will provide a variety of workshops, clinical
sessions, and poster presentations led by a diverse faculty who are
experts in clinical care and professional issues. The Massachusetts
Coalition of Nurse Practitioners and the New Hampshire Nurse
Practitioner Association will be holding their respective annual business
meetings during lunch on Thursday. This is a great opportunity to
hear about the work the organizations are doing on behalf of the NP
profession. If you do not belong to either organization, we welcome you
to join us and learn about the benefits of becoming a member.
As part of the conference, we will once again host an evening
reception on Thursday, May 5 at 5:45 PM. We welcome attendees
to join us. The event will include recognition of nurse practitioners
from Massachusetts and New Hampshire who have demonstrated
excellence in professional practice. It will also provide an opportunity
