102nd Annual General Meeting (AGM)

& Convention

Friday, June 3,  2022

Chateau Lacombe, Edmonton

 

The AWNA is planning an ‘in person’ convention for the first time in three years.



We recognize that some of you may be uncertain about attendance at this time,

 and we plan to offer the meeting and at least some of the presentations as a hybrid model, 

so that members could attend the AGM virtually.
