President Message #6:

 Greetings to all NCHVP members!

.    Fall Summit on Friday, October 18 was a great day as 27 NCHVP members and guests gathering at Wake Medical Center - Cary to network, learn, and fellowship!  Our agenda was membership focused around our main three goals for this year.  The program topics presented by Jodie Scoff and Ron Whitfield, Military Visitation Program Volunteer at UNC and the Oshibori Program presentation by Jodie were very informative and innovation focused.  We also decided as a group to have a joint district meeting interactive working lunch/discussion roundtable and it was very engaging to all attendees.  Lots of discussion, laughter, and getting to know each other took place.

 Thanks to the folks at Wake Med for hosting the event especially to Jackie Kennedy for her leadership and assistance and to Mark Ramseur  and First Uniform for the delicious lunch. 

The 2019-20 Education Committee is working to finalize the 2020 Annual Education Conference, and you don't want to miss it!  We will also be celebrating our 45th Anniversary!   Please reach out to Judy Naylor, our Education Committee co-chair, or myself if you have suggestions.  We have lots of possible topics based upon the NCHVP benchmarking survey and the recent Fall Summit and we are always looking for more!

3.  NCHVP Membership:  We still are looking for renewals to come in - please let me know if you need help as want to get everyone renewed - AND WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE SEVERAL NEW MEMBERS JOIN NCHVP!

Thank you,

Alice Whisnant, President, NCHVP
