"Voice of Nursing Leadership"

The January 2011 edition of the AONE newsletter has embraced a new logo with the incoming president, Dr. Cheryl Hoying.  I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Hoying and attending one of her previous presentations at AONE-what a great role model and remarkable choice as the AONE president.  I am looking forward to exciting times as AONE moves forward to impact nursing practice in our communities.  The AONE 44th Annual meeting and exposition will be in the finest city in the US-San Diego, CA and I'm sure it will be a treat.  Hope you can join us in sunny San Diego!!

All the best,
Nurse Leader
