The speakers were Merlita Velasquez (SCR), Josephine Villanueva (Western Region), Sofia Bole (North Central), and Victoria Navarro (Eastern region).

After a long stretch of educational activities, seven limousines awaited the delegates outside the Hotel InterContinental for an evening of dinner shows at South-Beach Mangoes. Some delegates decided to listen to the South Beach music and engaged in dancing, while others simply enjoyed the breeze and the moonlit sky at the South Beach bay.

The memorable GALA ceremony was held to recognize the contributions of the nurses in different fields of Education, Research, Informatics, and Community Service. The speeches of the PNAA President Leo-Felix Jurado and the PNAA President-Elect Dr. Rey Rivera, brought excitement and inspirations to the members of the PNAA. The turn-over ceremony of the hosting chapter, PNASF, headed by Josephine Villanueva to the new host chapter in California was very memorable.

Indeed, it was a very successful 31st PNAA Annual Convention. The spirit of teamwork, networking, collaboration, and cohesiveness were evident during the convention. The PNAA and the hosting PNASF did an excellent job in creating scholarly, high quality education for the attendees.  The experiences of the attendees in Miami Convention will be cherished. PNAA will strive hard to deliver quality education and activities to promote excellence in nursing and clinical practice. The newly inducted President of PNAA, Dr. Rey Rivera, will challenge and engage every member of the PNAA to grasp the importance and application of evidenced based practice and quality improvements to enhance PNAA activities and make a difference.

The attendees are expecting another memorable, educational, and fruitful experience in the forthcoming, 32nd PNAA Annual Convention to be held in San Francisco, California in 2011.
