Message from the President of AFLPN:
"I would like to encourage all LPNs to get involved in your professional organization,
so that we can keep representatives on the Board of Nursing to ensure our issues
are addressed and we have input in decisions that are made about our practice."
The Kansas Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses will be conducting a membership drive in April and May. We will be mailing letters and information about KFLPN and NFLPN to the LPNs in our state. It has been at least 15 years since we tried to recruit members by mail. We are hoping for at least a 10% return rate on the information we send out. Of course we are also going to mail information to former members and try to get them back. I will let you all know in future newsletters how successful we were in our attempts.
Janet Jacobs, LPN

At Large members are NFLPN members that reside in states without a state level association. We receive many inquiries about developing state level associations under NFLPN but rarely find a group of LPNs that are able to follow through with the task of beginning a chapter.
Several LPNs/LVNs have expressed interest in a Pennsylvania, Texas, and California.
We need volunteers to bring a group together, establish board members, and create the state chapter bylaws and charter. Additionally, volunteers are needed to support and lift up the organization and recruit new members as well as provide support to existing members.
If you are that special volunteer, please contact the NFLPN President, Missy Moore at Ottamissiah@yahoo.com or the NFLPN Membership Chair, JoAnn Shaw at jslpn@sbcglobal.net. They will guide you through the procedures of establishing your state association.
We work hard to support LPN/LVNs across the nation but our association is only as strong and as our membership and our collective efforts!
