It's not "goodbye." It's "see ya later!" It’s the end of 2022 and we find ourselves saying “visit soon!” to two of our staff members who have been woven through the fabric that is MNA for over two decades. Carol Feuss has served the organization and membership in various roles over her 14 years of service. Beginning back in 2000, Carol brought her extensive communications and marketing skills to MNA as the Director of Communications and Integrated Marketing. After 8 years, she departed to explore another opportunity, but missing the membership at MNA, she returned to us in 2014 as our Executive Assistant. She has seen the organization through many transitions over the years and has loaned her expertise to overseeing or assisting nearly every department. Her expertise and historical knowledge will be deeply missed by all at MNA. She has been invaluable to us, but her retirement is most deserved. We wish her nothing but the best as she enjoys tending to her garden and searching for the best Petosky stones. Ann Sincox has served the membership of MNA for over twenty years. A jane of all trades, she would argue she’s a master of none. (We disagree!) As the Project & Publication Director, Ann has overseen the publication of the MI Nurse magazine and has served as a photographer, videographer, and project manager for many events at MNA over the years. She has also mentored young nursing students as a liaison to the Michigan Nursing Students Association (MNSA). Over the last year, she has assisted our Continuing Education department as well, lending a sound ear and an additional creative brain to our ANCC Program Director, Hope Mwemba. Her guidance and friendship have been invaluable to so many of us here at MNA. We are thrilled for her as she enters this next phase of her life just in time to be a first-time grandma! Congratulations to you, Carol & Ann! You will be missed but your contributions to this organization will be treasured for many years to come. “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” – T.S. Eliot Now is your beginning… Our deepest thanks to you both. | |
