Join the Texas Nurses Foundation (TNF) for an engaging educational program exploring the connection between nursing, civic engagement, and local political advocacy. Nurses experience firsthand how public policy and community-level decisions can influence patient care, the healthcare workforce, access to services, and the environments in which nurses practice. This presentation will examine why participation in the civic process matters for nurses and how voting, understanding local government, and engaging with policymakers can help ensure that the nursing perspective is represented in conversations that affect healthcare and the communities nurses serve. Participants will gain greater insight into how decisions made at the local level can affect nursing practice and will explore practical ways nurses can become more informed and engaged advocates in their communities. RSVP today! Event Details Dress Code Business casual attire is encouraged. Healthcare professionals coming directly from work are welcome to attend in scrubs. Continuing Nursing Education Participants may earn 1.0 contact hour of continuing nursing education (CNE) for attending the educational program and completing all applicable requirements. Food & Beverages Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. Event Schedule Doors will open at 12:00 PM, with networking, food, and beverages available beginning at that time. The educational program and CNE portion of the event will begin at 12:30 PM.
