This signature event honors recipients of the TNA Leaders & Legends Awards and recognizes extraordinary members of the Texas Nurses Association whose leadership and dedication have shaped the profession. The evening also celebrates TNA’s Outstanding 25 Texas Nurses, recognizing 25 registered nurses who have made a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, communities, and the future of healthcare.
Set in an elegant venue and surrounded by colleagues, supporters, and nursing leaders from across the state, the Gala offers a meaningful opportunity to celebrate excellence while supporting the Texas Nurses Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to advancing the nursing profession.
