Sam, Martha, Rachael, William, John1, John2, John3, Barb, Lyn, and the many others who offer advice, ideas, encouragement and time to keep this network moving forward with gusto.

2004 has seen many changes in legislation and public policy that should be helpful to NAs in the long run. In 04, we celebrated the 27th annual National Nursing Assistants Week and thousands of mayors and governors across the country joined in to proclaim the week to the citizens of their communities. Many, many woderful programs were launched in appreciation of NAs. The NAs on Line project is seeing good results as more and more NAs are on line.

Watch for a year end report on the web site and thank you abundantly for your efforts to provide for better care and better jobs for caregivers

Happy holidays to all
