Why Attend Our FASN State Conference?

Let’s “face it”… in person meetings offer HUGE value!

While on-line learning opportunities and the explosion of “social media” opportunity resources certainly hold value, I would suggest that nothing can replace the benefits of a “human” resource interaction.  

While personally attending the NASN Annual Meeting in Boston, I quickly observed a refreshing and admirable behavior amongst attendees:  A sincere and genuine outreach to one another.  Whether to uncover business or personal commonalities, share inspirations, or exchange best practices, nothing substitutes the tremendous value of  personal interaction stemming from a face-to-face experience. 

“LOL” can hardly convey all the emotions that may come from a light hearted personal exchange, nor can one be certain in the interpretation of a faceless email.   Now, perhaps more than every before, amidst  very challenging economic restraints,  I would urge you to take full advantage of the strengths that lie within the “community” of your peers…in person!
