INA Town Hall: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Thursday, November 9, 2023

6:00 pm – 7:00 pm CST

We want to hear from YOU! Iowa Nurses Association (INA) would like to engage with you to share information and learn from Iowa nurses about the very important topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and how it is impacting nursing professionals. The virtual town hall is complimentary to all nurses in Iowa. It is designed as an informal event where we will share information about how INA is supporting 2023 efforts and invite you to join the conversation and share your expertise, experiences, and stories for ways to improve nursing in Iowa. Our objective is to provide support to Iowa's nurses as well as develop goals and initiatives that support the needs of nurses that align with INA's mission and vision.


Our Mission is to connect, support, and advocate for nurses and healthcare in Iowa.

Our Vision is for INA to advocate for Iowa Nurses. Together, we promote the growth of the profession, guide nursing practice, and monitor current issues in nursing. Our strength is to stay engaged, by advocating for and connecting with Iowa nurses in the diverse, dynamic health care healthcare.
