Region 4 Chapters Newsletter
Jan/Feb/March 2014 Winter Edition
Happy New Year Greetings Chapter Leaders!
Each year many of us make resolutions. My list
is often the same, be more active, travel,
spend time with friends and family, grow in
knowledge… and I strive each year to continue
this.
Resolution: a decision or determination
to do something. Synonyms:
perseverance, tenacity, strength and
fortitude.
My wish for you all is that your impact in the
community is a memorable and lasting one.
Seek ways to give your energy to areas that
matter to you!
Sincerely,
Helen Hughes, RN, BSN, CCRN
