It was an incredible honor for the San Diego Chapter of NAHN (SDNAHN) to welcome Dr. Grace Grau, President of NAHN, for her first official chapter visit in her new leadership role!
National Association of Hispanic Nurses
Grace Grau
Our current President Violet Rubio and Incoming President Dulce Pluma, along with our general and board members, were proud to host this historic occasion. We are honored that San Diego was your very first stop, and we celebrate your vision, your leadership, and the exciting future ahead.
Dr. Grau reminded us that leadership is about having the key to open new doors, being impactful, mindful leaders who are intentional about the service we give to our organization, the health of our communities, and the advancement of Hispanic nurses through higher education and professional growth. Your message inspired us all, especially following NAHN 51st conference in Denver, your swearing in and took office.
We are energized for the work ahead under your leadership. SDNAHN is always ready to grow, lead, and improve the lives of those we serve! with President-Elect Dulce Pluma preparing to lead our chapter, our future is brighter than ever with you two leading the way! 💪
As an added joy, we were also honored to celebrate Dr. Grau’s birthday together. 🎉 Happy Birthday, Dr. Grau! Thank you for allowing us to share this special day with you.
From a beautiful dinner with a beautiful view at Costera to visiting San Diego’s iconic “Unconditional Surrender” (Kissing Sailor) statue, it was truly our pleasure to host you. Thank you for your leadership, your inspiration, and for making history with us. 🗝️
Here’s to opening new doors, strengthening our communities, and advancing Hispanic nursing together! 🔑
