Today was the first day of this second sessions of the leadership institute and it was a great day! Pamela Thompson, M.T. Meadows, and David Marshall are the primary faculty, providing the content, role modeling, interactive learning, group facilitation, and relational experiences that will serve to develop nurse leaders in this country. The ANEMO members are positive and enthusiastic in all they have learned about developing themselves as leaders - from the first institute last August. A highlight today was listening to the leadership strategies and programs that they provided to nurse managers and chiefs since August, in their individual communities and provincial areas. We were welcomed today by the "Permanent Secretary" for the Minister of Health. That in itself was a very fine honor, as the nurses stood and sang their national anthem, and he offered works of support and encouragement for their assuming of leadership roles in health care.
Kerry and I are pleased to be here and will offer some class sessions later ourselves. The institute runs through Monday, with time off on Sunday...and we are enjoying our time with our AONE and ANEMO friends and colleagues very much. It is quite satisfying for us, as I'm sure it is for Michele and Maria and many of you, to have participated in ANEMO's activities over the past two years.
