I chose a GAPNA-Great Lakes Chapter conference committee position to get to know my chapter better. I enjoyed it so much that I have participated several times on this committee in different roles!

Nina Ganesh-Nandish, AGPCNP-BC

Local chapter engagement is one of the most fun aspects of GAPNA membership! It is so meaningful to connect with others who share our passion for older adults, and it’s an honor to give back to those chapters by serving in leadership roles.

Dr. Abby Luck Parish, DNP, APN-BC

Getting involved in my local GAPNA chapter has helped me become a better nurse and mentor. It has brought tons of opportunities in networking and professional development.
