The Nebraska Nurses Association (NNA) has partnered with the TeamMates® Mentoring Program to sponsor the 2013 Nurses Heroes and Mentors Dinner on May 10th.  Dr. Tom Osborne is the featured speaker for the event to be held at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel. The event, which includes dinner, begins at 6:00 pm. Mentors and heroes from organizations will be recognized and receive a memento of the event at the dinner.

The TeamMates Mentoring Program, founded by Coach Tom Osborne and his wife Nancy, is a school-based, one-to-one mentoring program where mentors are matched with students that hold similar interests at schools within a convenient distance from their work or home.  With a mission to positively impact the world by inspiring youth to reach their full potential through mentoring, TeamMates now serves nearly 6,000 kids in 100 communities throughout Nebraska.

The Nebraska Nurses Association was founded in 1906 and serves as the voice of nurses in Nebraska as well as promoting their professional development and fostering high standards for the nursing practice.
