Description
Strengthen your communication strategies and engage your organization to amplify nurses’ expertise and voice in the media. Previously called Strategic Engagement with the Media, this unique program is provided by AONL in collaboration with the George Washington University School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement.
Nurse leaders are among the most trusted experts in health care, yet nursing expertise is often underacknowledged in media and community conversations. Designed for CNOs committed to elevating nursing’s influence, this in-person preconference workshop will guide the development of organizational communication strategies that highlight expertise, innovation, and leadership of the nursing workforce.
