The theme of this summer's Army Nurse Corps Association Reunion/Convention will be "Army Nursing Around the World." It will be 31 July-2 August 2008 at the marvelous new Hotel Murano in downtown Tacoma, Washington. Check the information flyer for details. You can complete the registration form (p. 2 of the flyer) on-screen, then print and mail it. You can also find details on our tours, See and Shop Seattle, to Madigan Army Medical Center, and to Tillicum Village, in the flyer and sign up for them on the registration form.

You can review the entire tentative meeting program here — it is taking shape nicely. We will have as a speaker the present Chief of the Army Nurse Corps, who will be retired by then, and are planning to have her successor as a speaker also. We also plan a dynamic panel discussion of the care of wounded warriors and the deployment experiences of Army nurses. And there will of course be plenty of opportunities to visit with the present and former ANC officers attending.

If you're a present or former Army Nurse Corps officer and interested in attending, but not an ANCA member, you can sign up for membership right on the Reunion registration form. For eligibility information, check our Membership page.
