2009 Quarter 3
It is summer and a time of relaxation and fun in the sun! Virginia offers an expanse of adventure and beauty from our mountains to our beaches and our nation’s history. Our Chapter takes a break from our monthly meetings to enable our members to enjoy time with their families. During this time I always miss my Colleagues and the networking that seems to give me a “jolt” like a good cappuccino from Starbucks Coffee. Routinely meeting successful and ambitious people is AFFIRMING and KEEPS US MOTIVATED to pursue our highest goals. You cannot be a loner in business, and associating with others of like mind will boost your business to a more ambitious level.
Our Board members work hard to ensure you have a pleasant and educational experience as you EXPLORE or EXPAND your role as a Legal Nurse Consultant. I invite you to see what the field entails and if it is a match for you. Many of us learned about becoming an LNC as we sought to endeavor on a second career path. If you are an established Legal Nurse Consultant I invite you to network with our members and to be a part of our expanding Chapter. It is my goal that you will walk away feeling supported and encouraged to conquer your greatest challenges and to stand tall in the process.
If you are hoping to learn more about becoming a Legal Nurse I would like to invite you to attend our 8th Annual Conference: Beyond the Chronology: Expanding Your LNC Practice.This Conference focuses on the different practice areas of the Legal Nurse Consultant. Whether you are a newbie or an established consultant this will equip you with more options to consider should you decide to expand your consulting role. For more information see the “Events” section of our website.
Although we are on summer break, I am always here to support you and to help you. I am PRIVELEGED to be here for you to advocate for you as you serve in your role as an LNC and in business. Whether you are sun tanning, working in the garden, camping or sipping Pina Coladas this Summer I hope that you will return on September 14th to join us for our monthly meetings.
