The chapter wishes to thank all members who attended this year's Rollin' on the River event. The evening on the Mississippi was a beautiful blend of recognition, relaxation, and reconnecting with fellow members. We were privileged to celebrate Brynlee Faulkner, our newly certified OCN, during our annual pinning ceremony. Our current certified members were also recognized for their tireless efforts in elevating the oncology specialty, ultimately enhancing patient care. If you are interested in pursuing certification, please do not hesitate to contact us, as there are numerous benefits, and we would be delighted to recognize your achievement at next year's Rollin' event. The chapter extends its congratulations to Val Rieke and Charli Lopez, who were awarded the $2200 scholarship for conference funding in 2026. We eagerly anticipate seeing how these funds will contribute to your professional development and the expansion of your oncology knowledge.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at future educational dinners, journal club, and other chapter events in 2025!
