Leadership Retreat
By Meredith Joyner, VANA President-Elect
VANA’s Leadership Retreat will be held at Virginia Crossings in Glen Allen, VA, on July 29 & 30, 2022. The leadership team will gather to focus on VANA’s mission and align with VANA’s annual goals. The mission of VANA is to promote safe anesthesia care and to advance and enhance the art and science of the profession of nurse anesthesia in the Commonwealth of Virginia. With the mission at the heart of the weekend, we will hear from VANA’s lobbyists, PR firm, and a special guest from Innerwill Leadership Institute will share her presentation on “Leading with a Purpose.” We will concentrate on setting SMART (specific, measurable, attenable, relevant, time-specific) goals for VANA and its committees. VANA represents over 1500 CRNAs in Virginia, and the leadership team would like to connect with every Virginia CRNA in some way over the next year.
