PROGRAM PURPOSE
Hosted by the PNA Hawaii Chapter, this highly anticipated national gathering brings together Filipino nurses, nurse leaders, educators, researchers, students, and healthcare partners from across the United States. Designed to inspire action and foster excellence, the convention provides a dynamic platform for professional growth, leadership development, and meaningful collaboration. Attendees will engage in transformative learning experiences that highlight current and emerging trends in healthcare, nursing leadership, research, informatics, workforce development, and health equity—affirming the vital role of Filipino nurses in shaping local, national, and global health outcomes. Key signature events include the Internationally Educated Nurses (IEN) Summit, which addresses transition, integration, policy, and global mobility issues relevant to internationally trained nurses; the Leadership Institute, focused on cultivating strategic, influential, and values-driven nurse leaders; and the Education Day Conference, offering evidence-based, practice-focused sessions led by nationally and internationally recognized experts. General Assembly, where organizational direction, governance, and advocacy priorities are advanced through the participation of chapter leaders—represented by the Presidents of PNAA's 62 chapters nationwide.
