The Boston Conference 2026 was unforgettable! We celebrated old friendships and forged new ones, all while earning distinguished Gold Status. As nurse informaticists, we recognize AI's omnipresence, but we're determined to maintain our seat at the table and speak up as moral agents. Congrats to John Lussier for his presentation on social determinants of health and Melissa Lopez for co-leading a workshop on chapter leadership and digital engagement. Next stop, San Francisco! We got some Norcal X SoCal x ANIA San Diego Chapter collabs ahead under the leadership of our Madame President Melanie Sorenson! Let's continue to make our voices heard. It was so good to meet up with some SoCal members too!!!!! Love you guys!
