President’s Letter
Greetings to friends and colleagues!
Welcome to California and to the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists 2015 Annual Conference
and 20th Anniversary Celebration. There are so many wonderful opportunities for you at this meeting. From
the numerous educational opportunities, to the wealth of discoveries in the exhibit hall, and updates from
NACNS task forces and networking, this will be a great time to enjoy long-standing acquaintances and establish
new friendships!
The Clinical Nurse Specialist: The Essence of Transformational Health Care has been carefully and skillfully
planned by the 2015 Conference Planning Committee led by Sue Fowler, PhD, RN, CNRN, FAHA. The
committee spent countless hours incorporating past participant feedback and reviewing the latest advances
and issues for the clinical nurse specialist to bring you a very comprehensive program. I am especially excited
that we have some fun events planned for you as our meeting continues to grow and expand.
We have supplied you with this Conference Brochure as your official road map to the Annual Conference. Take
a moment to review the detailed program listings to start planning your time with us. Also new for 2015, we
have a Conference App where you can customize your conference schedule and have it available to you via
your smart phone! Simply stated, this is YOUR meeting! Your fellow CNS colleagues and faculty have designed
the NACNS Annual Conference to help you gain enhanced knowledge and tools to grow professionally both as
a clinical nurse specialist and as a leader in the field. Have a great meeting and many thanks for all you continue
to do to make a difference in health care today!
Best Wishes,
Les Rodriguez, MSN, MPH, RN, ACNS-BC
