2026 offers us a fresh opportunity to build that momentum together.
This year, I’m looking forward to strengthening the connection between NNA and the nurses we serve. Whether through education, advocacy, or professional support, our goal is simple: to make sure every nurse feels seen, valued, and empowered. Your voice, your experience, and your leadership matter—and NNA is committed to creating more pathways for you to be heard.
We also enter this year with a renewed focus on advocacy. The nursing profession continues to evolve, and the needs of our workforce are changing just as quickly. When nurses come together to speak with a unified voice, we can make meaningful progress on the issues that impact our patients, our practice, and our future. From legislative priorities to workplace well-being, 2026 will be a year of active engagement and collective action.
But beyond priorities and plans, what excites me most is the strength of our community. Nebraska nurses are resilient, compassionate, and fiercely dedicated to those they serve. My hope is that this year inspires each of us to step forward—whether by joining a committee, attending an event, mentoring someone new to the profession, or simply reconnecting with your professional community.
The work ahead is important, but we don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can continue moving our profession forward with purpose and optimism.
Thank you for all you do and for the privilege of serving alongside you. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2026.
