I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.
Andy Rooney
Greetings, There has been a unique and challenging year for us, as we have deviated from our normal schedule of events. But, thanks to some very
energetic and motivated board members we have kept up in governmental affairs, helped AAOHN and WOEMA, and have the 2011 Conference plans in full swing.
Pam Dannenberg from CECRAOHN has been our Legislative Liaison keeping the governmental affairs folks at the Chapters informed and motivated. She has scheduled monthly conference calls
which have been well attended and informative. I hope she knows how grateful we are for all of her efforts and the efforts of the Chapter GA members. This is a very important, and
helps us all stay informed and have our voices heard at various governmental offices.
Our California Chapter is not unlike other chapters here and around the country. We are faced with open board positions and no one willing to fill them. Someone asked me last week,
“Why did you agree to be President, that’s such a big job”. The real reason was that no one else was volunteering and it was something that down the road when I had time, I’d like to
do. I just didn’t know the time would be now. Please, think about what you can do. Volunteering in this group and at the local level can be very rewarding. I’ve made friendships
through working in CSAOHN and our local chapter that I know will last the rest of my life. If you think you may be able to help, we would be very grateful. Please call Carol Murdock,
who is out there trying to get some positions filled.
The Western Occupational Health Conference is just around the corner. There are up to 22 CNE’s available and Nurses are encouraged to attend. This is the first time that I know of,
that the Nurses and Doctors have worked together on a conference for Occupational Health Professionals in Southern California. For more information
www.WOEMA.org.
Our Annual Conference for 2011 will be held in beautiful Walnut Creek. Thank you to Catherine Ayers and Ellen Peterson for all their efforts in finding the best place for us. The
survey results indicated most of our members preferred a location with low cost. The Embassy Suites in Walnut Creek is next to a BART station and has very competitive prices.
Thank you for supporting CSAOHN.
See you soon,
Julie
