President's Quarterly Message

We have just concluded the annual National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) conference, where approximately 600 CNS professionals from the United States and Canada gathered to share innovative insights and engage in valuable networking. The 2025-2026 President’s Theme, “Collaborate,” was unveiled. Congratulations to Erin Pope, who earned 3rd place for her student poster at the NACNS conference. We also had the honor of celebrating the induction of three California colleagues as CNSI Fellows.
