Description

REGISTER NOW as an Exhibitor for the 2025 Missouri Nurse Advocacy Day!

Missouri Nurse Advocacy Day is intended to increase awareness of the political process for all nurses and nursing students. The event expands participants’ understanding of the legislative process and provides them with effective techniques for advocating for their patients and practice.

This event will focus on why legislative advocacy is important, identifying the Missouri Nurses Association’s key legislative priorities, as well as sharing what is needed from each nurse in the state to be successful at the Capitol. 

The 2025 Missouri Nurse Advocacy Day will be delivered as a live, in-person event at the Capitol Plaza Hotel on March 5, with an afternoon spent at the Missouri State Capitol networking with legislators.

AGENDA

The March 5 program will begin with exhibitor networking, followed by an Advocacy Celebration Breakfast (for all in attendance), an overview of legislative priorities and what we hope for attendees to accomplish at the Capitol, as well as a special guest speaker. 

Attendees will then head to the Capitol and spend the afternoon visiting with legislators, monitoring the floor debate, hearings, etc. and taking in the splendor of the Capitol building. Attendees will not return to the hotel for additional educational sessions.

We hope you will choose to join us for Missouri Nurse Advocacy Day on March 5!
