Nurses from across Kentucky gathered at Turfway Park in Northern Kentucky for the KNA's Inaugural Legacy and Leadership Gala on November 7th. There was a silent auction to benefit the KNA, a delicious dinner, and great fellowship.
We also got a chance to honor some incredible nurse leaders, have some laughs, and dance the night away to an incredible band. Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, or otherwise contributed.
A huge shout out to Terry Foster, RN, our incredible Emcee for the Gala! Terry had the whole room in stitches with his humor, wit, and infectious energy.
All of our award winners are listed below along with a brief description of what makes them outstanding.
After the awards, the energy soared as we danced the night away, creating joyful memories and sharing laughter on the dance floor. It was a truly magical night, bringing together our Kentucky nurses to honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to a bright future!
At the Gala the KNA was able to honor the tremendous work of KNA Immediate Past President Dolores White.
Dolores was honored as a Kentucky Colonel, the highest honor that can be awarded to a Kentuckian which is bestowed by the Governor and is a lifetime appointment. Governor Andy Beshear even contributed to a video thanking Dolores for her work. Congratulations again Dolores and thank you for your leadership and support of nurses!
