A new look, a new year and a new opportunity! Welcome to the revised TSOHN website. Thanks to the creative work of Matthew Gideon, Web designer and Diana Scott, our Communications and Publicity director, the website looks fantastic! The new website will have capabilities for us to stay connected via FaceBook, Twitter and other social media networks. Look for exciting announcements and opportunities on this website!

As your incoming president of our great Texas State Association of Occupational Health Nurses group, I bring with me over 30 years of occupational health experience and service within the organization at the local, state and the national level. I plan to work with the Board and members in moving the organization forward. Some of the goals I and the Board have established for the next two years include:

• Seeking ways to cut costs for the association
• Using electronic media when feasible to communication with our members
• Continuing to grow the organization with new members; and
• Mentoring nurses for leadership roles within the association and all levels of occupational health
• Our most important goal is to provide our members with a successful state conference in San Antonio in 2013.

Here’s to a great year!
