From GA Captain Cheryl MacDonald Sweet

Hi folks, GA is right around the corner.

The General Assembly online orientation will be on ENA's website prior to the GA. . You will receive an email from the National office as well. All Delegates must complete this online orientation. We have almost three weeks to get this completed. It's not long and not difficult to complete.

We will have a virtual delegate meeting on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Please look for emails with log in information prior to the event. Date subject to change.

The GA handbook is on the website -see ENA General Assembly/Delegate Link below. Everyone please review the bylaws and resolutions prior to our meeting and be ready to discuss how we should vote as a group.

I'm old school so I printed the entire handbook, however you can have it on a laptop or iPad or whatever way you wish to review this important information for our upcoming General Assembly.

MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW

An important note for anyone just attending the General Assembly sessions - you must register for the conference to get your keypad. You can register to only attend the General Assembly but must register. If you don't register, you will not get a keypad.

Once you have completed the General Assembly online orientation, please make a copy of your completion certificate and email it to me or bring it to General Assembly.

We will figure out when to distribute shirts prior to GA. I hope to get to all the eve before when we are all registering at the Conference Center.

For first time delegates, each state will have a sign locating where we will sit as a group. Dress should be business casual along with our designated shirts.

You will receive your stipend in the form of a check after the GA session is completed. We also take a group picture at the end of GA so please do not run off.

To receive your full stipend, all must be present for the entire General Assembly. Please give the presenters your full attention. GA is not the time for correcting papers or looking thru emails or Facebook.

Thanks so much for offering to represent Pennsylvania as a delegate this year. It's humbling to be part of the interworking of our great organization. I look forward to seeing you all in person.

See you in Pheonix!

Cheryl
