CLN Celebrates 65 years of Supporting Nursing Education in Connecticut

11/1/2019

​The Connecticut League for Nursing (CLN) celebrated its 65th Anniversary of doing business within the State of Connecticut with a "power-packed" luncheon by recognizing the accomplishments of 65 Nurses Over the Age of 65! "It was amazing to honor these nurses. Their collective impact on nursing and healthcare in Connecticut is truly profound!", shared Marcia Proto, CLN's Executive Director,"CLN is proud to have supported and served nursing & nursing education for the past 65 years in Connecticut."

Thinking how to celebrate CLN's 65th year in business, the CLN staff and leadership decided to craft a special recognition Campaign to be titled, "65 Over 65- Leaving Your Nursing Legacy in Connecticut". Then the CLN leadership decided to take this Campaign one-step-further to host a once-in-a-lifetime event to celebrate the contributions of these amazing men and women.

With the help of our members, CLN identified 65 such nursing leaders and compiled the history of each honoree and pictures taken at the beginning of their nursing careers as well as a current photo. Each honoree included a personal quote or pearl of wisdom that they wished to share which summed up their nursing career.

To see pictures of the day, visit our Facebook Album and to view those nurses honored scroll down.

All in attendance enjoyed the powerful keynote address given by Dr. Catherine Alicia Georges. Dr. Georges is professor and chair of the Department of Nursing at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She is President of the National Black Nurses Foundation, serves on the Board of the Black Women's Health Study and R.A.I.N., Inc. In addition, Dr. Georges holds the role of President of the National Board of AARP so it was fitting for CLN to recognize her as the final honoree, the 65th of 65 in our 65 over 65 Leaving Your Nursing Legacy Campaign!
