Honor Families and Family Nurses

Support the Future of Family Nursing by Honoring Families and Family Nurses

Honor Families and Family Nurses is an initiative of IFNA’s Resource Advancement Committee to raise funds for supporting student participation in International Family Nursing Conferences. For our last conference (IFNC13, Pamplona Spain) we raised almost $10,000 through this program – money that will be directed to supporting student attendance at the upcoming 14th International Family Nursing Conference. Application guidelines will be available early in April. With your support of this program, we will be able to provide even greater support for students in the years ahead.

Through the Honor Families and Family Nurses (HFFN) program, IFNA members and others have an opportunity to support IFNA through honoring and praising those among us (IFNA members and non-members) who deserve to be recognized. Think of nurses and others (colleagues, mentors, practitioners, students, families, community leaders) who have inspired you through their achievements or support and whose efforts and lives deserve to be acknowledged.    

Accomplishments to be honored include but are not limited to:

• Leaders in family nursing, including colleagues who have retired or passed away
• Excellence in practice
• Families who have inspired you
• Community leadership
• Funding for a new program or research project
• Completion of a major project or study
• Publication of an outstanding manuscript
• Mentorship of students and/or junior colleagues
• Completion of a degree

Each submission must be accompanied by a $100 donation to IFNA. All those honored and their affiliated organization will be recognized at the 14th International Family Nursing Conference (August 13 – 16, 2019 in Washington D.C.) and on IFNA’s website.

After July 5, all honoree submissions received through the final day of IFNC14 will be recognized on the IFNA website only.
