address these – now – by maximizing the role of nurses.
• As the largest segment of the health care workforce and the ones who spend
the most time with patients, nurses are vital to the successful transformation
of health care.
• The Campaign for Action is working to improve health care
through nursing.
• We are working to make sure patients get the care they need, when and
where they need it.
• To meet growing health care demands/challenges, we need to
change how nurses are educated, trained, and practice.
• The success of this effort will depend on … stakeholders to come together to
expand access, improve quality, and contain costs.

Susan ReinhardGood afternoon everyone. I’m Susan Reinhard, Senior Vice President & Director, AARP Public Policy Institute; Chief Strategist, Center to Champion Nursing in America. I know you are very busy; so thank you taking the time to join us today to think about how to promote the important work we are all doing.I will just mention up front that we’re recording today’s webinar, so if you miss a section or would like to pass it on to a colleague, you can find the recording by going to http://campaignforaction.org/webinars. Vital to the success of our work is figuring out how to talk about it. How do we explain what our campaign is about? What are we trying to do? Why do we want person a, b, or c to join us? These seem like simple questions, but, can you answer them as simply?This will be the conversation we will start today and I hope you find it helpful, fun, and invigorating. We’ll leave time for Q&A at the end of this presentation, so please jot down any questions that you have. Now I want to introduce you to Linda Wright Moore, the senior communications officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation who oversees communications for the Campaign for Action. Linda and her team have been hard at work on the campaign’s strategic communications plan as well as some communications resources to help you promote your efforts. I’ll let Linda tell you more about all of that. Linda…
Michael – Can we navigate to the community to show the resources “live” if possible.
