PNANY’s First Community Outreach for the 2026–2028 Term!

Despite the cold weather, PNANY joined the Filipino American History Month – Little Manila Parade & Block Party on October 18, 2026, along 41st Avenue in Woodside, Queens. It was a meaningful and productive day filled with community engagement, cultural pride, and fellowship with fellow organizations.

Led by Jacqueline Juele Schuster, alongside our new Ways and Means Chair Camille Florendo and Community Outreach Chair Sally Francisco, the team connected with the community through health education and meaningful conversations.

It was also a great opportunity to connect with fellow nurses who came to celebrate. Membership Committee team Mariel Bedona and Melody Cubas reached out to the nurses who visited our booth and encouraged them to consider becoming members of PNANY.

The cold weather didn’t dampen our spirits! We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, build connections, and strengthen our presence in the community as we begin this new term.

Together, we continue to serve, connect, and grow!

PNANY Strategic Planning 2026–2028 | Building a Stronger Future Together

PILLAR: Promoting Inclusivity, Learning, Legacy, Advocacy, & Resilience

The Philippine Nurses Association of New York, Inc. (PNANY) Executive Officers, Board of Directors, and Advisory Council came together for the 2026–2028 Strategic Planning Meeting, embracing the theme “Be a PILLAR, From Vision to Reality.” This gathering marked an important step toward a new term of purposeful leadership, collaboration, and service.

The session focused on strengthening our leadership foundation, revisiting PNANY's mission, vision, organizational identity, and accomplishments, and identifying opportunities for continued growth. Discussions also highlighted nonprofit governance and organizational responsibilities, reinforcing our commitment to accountability and excellence.

Guided by the principles of Appreciative Inquiry and SMART Goals, our leaders worked collaboratively to translate the PILLAR vision into actionable plans. Through committee workshops, the officers and board of directors established strategic priorities, outlined programs and activities, and developed measurable goals, proposed budgets, timelines, and deliverables for the 2026–2028 term.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Amsterdam Nursing Home for graciously hosting and accommodating us for this meaningful event. Your generosity, hospitality, and support are truly appreciated.

As we embark on this new chapter, we remain united in our commitment to empowering our members, strengthening our organization, advancing nursing leadership, and serving our communities.

We also took a moment to celebrate our October birthday celebrants, adding a special touch of joy, camaraderie, and togetherness to our strategic planning gathering.

One Vision. One Team. One PILLAR. Moving Forward Together!
