  1. Vicky started the meeting by discussing SB323. This bill has become a 2 year bill, and there is still hope to get this bill passed on next round. It is very important to reach out to our local representatives as most do not adequately understand the NP role. 
  2. Assembly Bill 637 recently was signed into legislation allowing NPs to sign DNR forms.
  3. There will be a CANP leadership summit in October. This will be attended by 2 executive board members.
  4. Charlotte has crafted a chapter newsletter to keep every updated on the activities that have been going on with our chapter. This newsletter is available on our chapter CANP website.
  5. Also, encouraged members to follow chapter on Facebook and Twitter as we have been posting events and pictures of the chapter’s events on these social media outlets.
  6. Vicky introduced representative from Harvoni who is here to provide informative presentation on Hepatitis C treatment.
  7. Meeting adjourned at 19:08

The California Association for Nurse Practitioners (CANP) provides a forum and unifying voice for more than 30,000 nurse practitioners statewide, often joining forces with other state and national organizations, to advance the profession and bridge health care needs. As the only association solely dedicated to advocating for nurse practitioners in California, we work to protect and expand the critical roles filled by NPs. As a conduit of information, we foster the dissemination of ideas, advice and standards of practice.
