SAMPLE LETTER
[Date]
Dear [supervisor’s name]:
The 2019 ANCC Pathway to Excellence Conference® and the 2019 ANA Quality and Innovation
Conference will be held April 24–26, 2019, in Orlando, Florida. I believe this is a great opportunity
to learn from the country’s most innovative healthcare leaders and bring back proven solutions
to address our toughest nursing challenges.
Here’s how the conferences can benefit :
• I’ll attend powerful general sessions to learn strategies to improve workforce morale,
resilience, and passion!

who have accomplished extraordinary things.
—S
IMON T. BAILEY demonstrates how, even in this service-driven economy of algorithms
over personal interaction, your organization can still create a memory in the hearts and
lives of people you serve to create a customer for life.
—R
OBIN FARMANFARMAIAN examines how the convergence of accelerating technology
is both changing healthcare and enabling the healthcare consumer to be the key decision
maker on the healthcare team.
—N

Nick’s unique blend of cutting-edge research and fascinating stories, discover a simple
framework for how you can navigate changes at work and at home.
• I can choose from more than 43 concurrent sessions to gain valuable strategies we can use to:
—M
arry clinical improvement with shared governance to boost satisfaction and
engagement
— Sustain nursing-sensitive quality indicators over time
— Manage stress and build a more resilient nursing team
— Cultivate competent, influential nurse leaders
