News from Denver AALNC

Hi Everyone,
As those of you who attended the November meeting are aware, we're in the process of assessing the needs and interests of the membership.  Currently, we're looking for alternative meeting sites and so far have learned that meeting rooms in restaurants can be very expensive. I've spoken with folks at Maggiano's Little Italy as well as Landry's and a place called Great Northern...all of them are far out of our reach. so if any of you have ideas or options to the Village Inn location, please let me know what they are. Survey results have indicated that a location in the Southern end of the Denver metro area (like Englewood, DTC) are preferable, so let's keep that in mind.
Another issue of concern is the educational program. At the January board meeting we decided to have a focus for this year and to concentrate on standards of care.  We're planning to have speakers who are attorneys, MDs, and nurses address the issue from their perspectives.  Hopefully, this will begin to address the request for more nonmember speakers and offer a wider range of information.

If you're currently a member of the Denver Colorado Chapter of AALNC and have not renewed your membership for the new year, please do so soon, and if you're not a member yet, don't delay.  We're planning an exciting and interesting 2010 and want everyone to be a part of it!

See you in March.

Lin
