Serving with a smile
In the current healthcare climate, where the day to day demands of work are intensified by budget cuts, AASCIN volunteers may find it difficult to participate in AASCIN activities that take time from an already packed work week. If your employer has concerns about your participation in AASCIN, perhaps we can give them a reason (or two) to consider the benefits of volunteerism in a national association:

    • Serving AASCIN helps to build professional skills such as enhanced leadership abilities, communication, and team work. The development of these skills benefits your company.

    • Serving AASCIN builds your knowledge base about healthcare issues, legislative issues, and SCI practices to contribute to an improved level of practice.

    • Serving AASCIN gives you exposure to SCI healthcare personnel and related healthcare professionals in a variety of settings which establishes a broader vision on the trends and changes in the healthcare industry. This can help lead your company to better meet future healthcare challenges.

    • Serving AASCIN gives your employer nationwide visibility and increased credibility within your community.

    • Serving AASCIN advances the national development of SCI nursing care.
