Message from Dr. Carole Robinson, Canada
Acting President
Dear Friends and Colleagues, 
At our conference in Minneapolis, Marcia Van Riper stepped down as President of IFNA and Kit Chesla took up the position. At that time, I became President Elect. In September, Kit needed to temporarily step down as President to take care of a health concern and I became the Acting President. I must tell you that following in the footsteps of Marcia and Kit is definitely a challenge. However, Kit has remained actively involved in the organization and I have also had wonderful support from Marcia as the Past President, your very able board of directors, and our management company.
As I have been thinking about this message, I began to wonder "What would you most like to know about me?" I have been so fortunate to meet many of you at our International Family Nursing Conferences over the years.
