Dear Colorado Nursing Informatics Community,
We want to begin with a heartfelt apology for the chapter’s lack of engagement over the past few years. We recognize that its silence may have left many of you feeling disconnected or unsupported, and for that, we are truly sorry.
But today, we’re reaching out with renewed energy and a clear purpose: to breathe new life into the Colorado Chapter of the American Nursing Informatics Association. We believe in the power of this community and the incredible potential we have when we come together to share knowledge, support one another, and grow as professionals.
We’re excited to announce that a new chapter board is now in place, committed to rebuilding and reimagining what this chapter can be. Please join us in welcoming:
- President: Cassandra VanZalinge MS NI-BC
- Vice President: Anna Otgonbayar MSN RN NI-BC
- Secretary: Sarah Ponsonnet MSN -HI, RN
This new leadership team is dedicated to creating a chapter that is inclusive, responsive, and valuable to all members—no matter your role, experience level, or location.
We’re calling on each of you—whether you’re a long-time member, new to the field, or somewhere in between—to join us in this revitalization effort. Your voice, your experience, and your ideas are essential to shaping a chapter that truly reflects and supports our informatics community.
As we move forward, we want to hear from you:
- What would make chapter events more valuable and engaging for you?
- What topics or formats would you like to see at our meetings?
- How can we better support your informatics journey, regardless of your role or location?
This is your chapter, and we want it to be a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered.
Please keep an eye on this message board and our social media channels for updates, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved. And don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly—I’m here to listen, collaborate, and help make this chapter something we can all be proud of.
Let’s make this a turning point. Together, we can build something truly meaningful.
Warm regards,
Luke Jobman MS BSN NI-BC CNOR
