President's Message
It remains an honor to serve as President of ENRS. As we close the year, I’m inspired by the momentum across our community. Together, we are advancing rigorous nursing science, elevating health equity, and strengthening the pipeline of nurse scholars. ENRS continues to be a conduit for collaboration and dissemination across research, education, and practice. I invite you to engage: join a Research Interest Group, submit a webinar, volunteer on a committee, and encourage colleagues and students to become members. Your engagement strengthens our shared community and ensures that nursing science continues to drive transformative change across our region and beyond. Strategic Focus: From Plan to Practice In November, the ENRS Board of Directors and Committee Chairs will convene in Boston for a full-day working session dedicated to operationalizing our 2025–2029 Strategic Plan. Together, we will translate our strategic priorities into actionable tactics that advance innovation, strengthen member engagement, and ensure the long-term sustainability of ENRS. The outcomes of this meeting will guide our society’s work in the year ahead, and I look forward to sharing key highlights and next steps with you in early 2026. ENRS 2026 Annual Scientific Sessions Please mark your calendar for the 38th Annual Scientific Sessions, March 25–27, 2026, at Encore Boston Harbor, Boston, MA. The 2026 theme is “Strength in Nursing Science: Advancing Health Across Dynamic and Diverse Settings.” The program features a keynote by Lisa Kitko, PhD, RN, FAHA, FAAN (University of Rochester School of Nursing): “The Strength and Resilience of Nursing Science: Shaping Health Through Emerging Evidence, Innovative Strategies, and Policy Impact.” Conference pages for the schedule, registration, hotel information, awards, and abstracts are now live—visit the conference hub for details and updates here. Become an ENRS Partner As we look ahead to 2026, I encourage you to explore ways to support the continued growth and sustainability of ENRS. Becoming an ENRS Partner is one powerful way to do so—demonstrating your commitment to advancing nursing science while helping to fund student scholarships, awards, programming, and visibility initiatives throughout the year. Partnership levels (Champion, Leader, Mentor, and Peer) offer meaningful benefits, including memberships, webinar opportunities, job postings, and recognition across ENRS communications and at the Annual Scientific Sessions.
