~~INSGNA~~ ~~Fall Conference will be in Evansville IN.~~

We have had to CANCEL the Fall INSGNA Conference due to a low response to attend. The Board apologizes that we had to make this difficult decision, but with only one week until the conference, we had only 24 registrations and that is not enough to financially support the conference. We are very aware of the value of our Vendor supporters who pay to show their products. We depend on them to offset the expenses of the course since the registration fees is not sufficient to cover all the expenses. It would not be fair to our Vendors to ask them to display to such a small crowd.

We are also aware that our certified nurses depend on our courses to help them meet the requirements they need to maintain their certification. We are working on a couple of ideas that would give people GI specific contact hours, although not category I. If you need suggestions on how to get additional hours, please contact me, Lea Anne Myers, via email at drmfwin@msn.com for help.

Tell us about what is going on in your areas!!! We would really like to have the web site more active and provide you with communication about events that are up-coming for your areas. Our INSGNA region includes the entire state of Indiana. When you think about that, it is a pretty big territory. If you have Journal clubs that are meeting and would be open to others in the surrounding area to attend or other educational events that you would be willing to include visitors, please let us know. We can get those on the calendar so others can take advantage of the educational opportunities. You never know who may want to attend if they were aware of what is being offered! Just contact Lea Anne Myers at drmfwin@msn.com to get your events on the calendar
