WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RNFAS
JULY 1ST 2007
NARNFA
WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE FORMATION OF A NEW NATIONAL ORGANIZATION TO REPRESENT THE RNFAS OF AMERICA (NARNFA). WE ARE HERE TO HELP THIS WONDERFUL PROFESSION OF OURS TO GROW EDUCATIONALLY, LEGISLATIVELY AND IN THE REALM OF PUBLIC AWARENESS.
MANY OF YOU WILL ALREADY KNOW OUR NAMES; WE HAVE BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE RNFA IN OUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIVES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. OUR GOALS HAVE NOT CHANGED, AND NARNFA WILL ALLOW US TO REGAIN THE AUTONOMY WE MUST HAVE IN ORDER TO PURSUE THOSE GOALS. AS A SMALL, FOCUSED GROUP, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH LEGISLATORS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. OUR LEGISLATIVE GOAL IS FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL RNFAS.
THERE IS A LINK ON THIS WEB SITE TO THE RNFA POLICY & ADVOCACY COALITION. SEVERAL OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE CONTINUED WORKING TOWARDS THAT GOAL WITH BURKE BEU. HE WILL CONTINUE HIS EFFORTS ON OUR BEHALF, AND IS EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR RNFA’S. WITH THE FINANCIAL BACKING NARNFA HOPES TO PROVIDE, WE CAN STEP UP TO THE LEGISLATIVE PLATE WITH THE PASSION AND COMMITMENT THAT EPITOMIZES THE RNFA.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS SPECIFIC TO THE RNFA WILL BE PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH RNFA VENTURES AND OTHER PROGRAMS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE ATTENDED TWO OF THEIR CONFERENCES. THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATIONS AND THE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES THEY PROVIDE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ALL NEEDED.
THE GOVERNING BODY OF THIS ORGANIZATION WILL STRIVE TO SERVE THE RNFA TO THE BEST OF ITS ABILITY. WE NEED YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS; THIS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION! WE WANT AND NEED YOUR INPUT. OUR WEBSITE WILL POST DATES AND DETAILS OF MEETINGS. EDUCATION AND LEGISLATIVE UPDATES,
