The conference was designed for nursing professionals, including nurses, nursing officers, and registered nurses (RNs), providing an opportunity for them to engage with peers and enhance their knowledge in the field of school nursing.A highlight of the event was the keynote speech delivered by Terri Hinkley, which captivated the audience and set the tone for a productive and informative conference. The atmosphere was further enriched by the presence of notable figures such as Louise Wilson, who introduced the Advocacy Award winner, Dr. Outgoing WASN President Kelly Barlow-Eichman, and Incoming President Jamie Trzebiatowski. Attendees actively participated in advocacy efforts, exemplified by school nurses visiting legislators at the state capitol, which underscored the importance of their role in shaping health policies. The event not only facilitated the sharing of valuable information and resources but also fostered connections among nursing professionals dedicated to the well-being of students across the USA.
