Colorado Nurses Association

What an incredible day of connection, learning, and community at the 2026 CNA Annual Conference! 💙

On September 24, nurses and healthcare leaders from across Colorado came together for a day centered around this year’s theme, Caring for Colorado. We are so grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their experiences, asked thoughtful questions, connected with colleagues, and helped make this year’s conference so meaningful.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Katie Boston-Leary, as well as our presenters, exhibitors, volunteers, and everyone who contributed their time and expertise throughout the day.

And, of course, a huge thank you to our generous sponsors. Your support helps make opportunities like this possible and allows us to continue bringing Colorado’s nursing community together to learn, grow, and advocate for the profession.

We also want to give a special thank you to Ryan, our photographer, for capturing so many wonderful moments from the day!

It is the season for conferences.
Please join us at the CNA Annual Conference 9/24 for great speakers and conversations.

CNA will also be at the CCNE conference tomorrow and the AWOHHN conference on October 2nd.

Let's talk how CNA can help meet your professional goals.

You may have heard Congress adjourned a little early, sending members back to their districts for campaigning. This gives you an opportunity to meet with your representatives (mine is Joe Neguse) and talk about workplace violence, staffing, payment/scope of practice (ICAN), or loan limits for graduate nursing education.

CNA is here to provide guidance with your meeting.
