Colorado Nurses Association Leadership Announcement

Colorado Nurses Association (CNA) President Laura Rosenthal, DNP, ACNP, FAANP, announces that as of Dec. 1, 2021, Colleen Casper, DNP, RN, MS former Colorado Nurses Association Executive Director, has transitioned into the role of Director of Practice and Government Affairs. To complement her work, Civica Associations Conferences and Exhibitions will expand their role with CNA to include administrative support to the governing board, strategic planning, programatic improvements, and membership services.  Dr. Casper will work closely with Civica and the Governing Board in the transition of these roles and responsibilities while focusing primarily on advocacy for nursing practice in the regulatory, legislative and work environment related initiatives.  Casper will also continue to liaison with the American Nurses Association and the Colorado Nurses Association Continuing Education and Nursing Professional Development in partnership with Civica.

CNA is fully engaged in the planning and prioritization of the 2022 Legislative agenda. We are confident this new organization will serve to strengthen the services available to members and the opportunities for CNA to advance nursing and health care access for all Coloradans.
