November 9, 2020- The Georgia Nurses Association is now accepting registrations for the Georgia Nurses Association Legislative Institute Inaugural Class. 

The Georgia Nurses Association Legislative Institute (GNALI) is a six-month advocacy program designed to train Georgia registered nurses to be effective advocates for their profession and their patients. Non-GNA Members and Nursing students are welcome to participate, also.

Running from December to June, GNALI provides education about the legislative process at the local and state levels; teachings on how to coordinate grassroot efforts in collaboration with nursing specialty societies, patient advocacy groups, community organizations, and other invested stakeholders to advance healthcare and nursing legislative priorities; and instruction on how to build rapport with elected officials and leverage relationships.

In addition, GNALI participants get real world experience of how a bill becomes law by having direct involvement in the legislative session, having one-on-one meetings with legislators and their staff; by learning from industry professionals; and by developing long-lasting relationships with change-makers and industry leaders. 

Registration for the GNALI Inaugural Class closes on December 17, 2020. More information including registration can be found at https://georgianurses.nursingnetwork.com/nursing-events/133504-georgia-nurses-association-legislative-institute-inaugural-class#!info.
