Important Message from the SNRS President
The Southern Nursing Research Society Board of Directors condemns discrimination, racism, and violence in all forms and acknowledges that racism is a persistent threat to the health, safety, and wellness of individuals and communities who experience it.
In the wake of the recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless other named and unnamed Black and African Americans whose lives have been taken by senseless acts of violence, the SNRS Board of Directors is committed to becoming a more inclusive and anti-racist organization. We are taking time to pause and examine our policies and procedures to identify ways to promote inclusion of all people in the organization and eradicate disparities in research supported by SNRS. As we pause and reflect, please join us in working to make sure that every member of our organization is valued. We hope that you will engage in dialogue with members of your Research Interest Groups (RIG) and with SNRS Board members to help us identify needed change and positive solutions.
