MISSISSIPPI S ONLY STATE ASSOCIATION COMPLETELY DEVOTED TO NURSE PRACTITIONERS

Welcome to the Mississippi Association of Nurse Practitioners. We hope you are as excited as we are by the continued progress and success of an association completely devoted to nurse practitioners. The creation of this organization is the result of an expressed need for NPs to have an association focused entirely on their needs and on moving the profession forward in our state. We are excited about representing the 3,700 NPs in Mississippi on both a state and national level. We are also an organizational member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. We recognize the importance of nurse practitioners in the provision of healthcare in our state and the need to enhance their visibility, legislative clout, and participation in key decision making roles. We would like very much to have your support as we continue to build this association. The Mississippi Association of Nurse Practitioners invites you to join us as an exhibitor for the 2017 Annual Conference July 13-16 in Biloxi, MS. The Expo will open on Friday, July 14 in the Beau Rivage Conference Center. To reserve exhibit space, please complete and return the enclosed contract. This guide also contains detailed information on a variety of sponsorship opportunities. We look forward to working with you to make the MANP Expo 2017 a satisfying experience!
