CCBN SPACE EXPO
2021-09-27 - 2021-10-01 | Videoconference
It's Official! The Countdown to the CCBN Space Expo has Started!
The CCBN Space Expo is a 5-day Virtual Assembly focusing on physical and applied sciences for preschool, elementary, middle and high school aged youth in Colorado from a STEAM perspective. There's opportunities for everyone to get involved between September 27 - October 1, 2021! Not only is October 1st the official Pupil Count Day, it's also the 63rd anniversary of NASA! Let's have a blast!

This year, our goal is to reach EVERY school-aged child in the state of Colorado, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender, abilities, or socioeconomic background and whether home schooled, experiencing homelessness, incarcerated or justice involved, in a hospital, institution, traditional classroom, or displaced from school. We are passionate about assuring that all children will have an opportunity to see someone who "looks like them" and whom they can identify with. Next year (year 2), the goal is to host the CCBN Space Expo for our nation, and the following year (year 3) on a global scale - and yes, right now, we are already working on all three.

ORGANIZATION SEARCH AND FIND
2022-01-22 15:30 - 17:00 | Webinar
ORGANIZATION SEARCH AND FIND:
So often, people of color and other underrepresented communities are not told about opportunities that could benefit their education or careers resulting in students of color and other underrepresented students having to literally “work” their way through college instead of benefiting from funding that will allow them time to concentrate on their studies to successfully graduate from college - and in a timely manner.
All too often, we have straight A students who are not told about merit scholarships they would qualify for but are instead told of need based scholarships they do not qualify for, leaving our students without proper funding for college and resulting in them having to work low wage jobs that are not enough to make ends meet, let alone fund a college education. Situations like these carry over into workplaces as well…

Sound like you?

The ORGANIZATION SEARCH AND FIND event is one method the Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc (CCBN) is using to fulfill our mission to “increase college matriculation and successful graduation rates among Black and other underrepresented students.” This free event will introduce those seeking higher education and career advancement to organizations that can provide information, funding, and/or mentoring to support successful graduation and entry into practice.
Start here to find out about organizations that can service you, and where you can serve, through nursing school and after entry into practice. Don’t think you can afford to belong to more than one organization at a time? Think Again. Don't think your voice or contributions matter? Think Again! Register HERE and find out the how and the why on Saturday, January 22nd at 3:00 pm and/or Tuesday, January 25th at 5:30 pm.
Take the opportunity to learn about these professional Nursing organizations that have impact and about organizations that impact the profession of Nursing:

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
American Nurses Association

Chi Eta Phi

Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc

Colorado Nurses Association

Future Voices

Nurses for Sexual and Reproductive Health

Peer Nurse Mentor Experience

Phi Theta Kappa

Sigma Theta Tau

Space Generation Advisory Council

Student Nurse Association on your campus

REGISTER HERE to receive the event link. Registration closes 1/25/2022 at 5:15 pm.
We look forward to seeing you there!

2022 CCBN Health Equity Accord
2022-02-19 10:00 - 14:00 | Videoconference
Click HERE to Register:
If natural immunity is ineffective, why is it used successfully for monoclonal antibody therapy?
Why are those infected with COVID who are "partially vaccinated" included in infection rates of the "unvaccinated" instead of the "vaccinated"?
How is it that a COVID infection in a person who is vaccinated is labeled a "breakthrough" infection but a COVID infection in a person with natural immunity is labeled "a result of being unvaccinated"? Wait a minute, do they even test for natural immunity?
Here's your chance to talk about the COVID double talk and in the process discover straight talk that will equip the public with unadulterated facts to make informed decisions for consent based off facts instead of coercion.
CCBN kicks off its Informed Consent Initiative at this year's CCBN Health Equity Accord. Be a part of the movement. Share Your Testimony.
Special thanks to this year's sponsor:

CCBN Space Expo National Launch
2022-09-26 07:00 - 2022-09-30 19:00 | CCBN Virtual Event, CO, United States
It's Official! The Countdown to the CCBN Space Expo has
Started!

Join us NOW for pre-launch activities and information to start getting involved with the launch so we can all have a blast! #CCBNSpaceExpo
The CCBN Space Expo is a 5-day Virtual Assembly focusing on physical and applied sciences for preschool, elementary, middle and high school aged youth in all US states and territories from a STEAM perspective. There are opportunities for everyone to get involved between September 26 - October 30, 2022!
This year, in recognition of the new and official logo of the CCBN Space Expos and the special CCBN Space Expo themed postcards that can be flown to space through the Postcards to Space program, there is a special emphasis on ART, which is the "A" in STEAM. Youth may fill out a special designed CCBN Space Expo themed postcard to be sent on a future Blue Origin mission and receive it back stamped “flown to space” as an inspirational keepsake, courtesy of Club for the Future.
Our continued goal is that EVERY school-aged child, no matter their walk in life or status in (or out of) school, whether home schooled, experiencing homelessness, justice involved (including incarcerated), in a hospital, institutionalized, or in a traditional classroom, and regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender, abilities, or socioeconomic background, has the opportunity to participate in some way in the CCBN Space Expo. We are passionate about assuring that all children will have an opportunity to see someone who "looks like them" and whom they can identify with.
That’s one of the reasons why we also have an outreach emphasis this year on justice involved youth. At last year’s space expo, we had a shared success story of an industry partner who came from a dire background and whose choices resulted in him being justice involved as a youth, but one decision changed his whole trajectory to a life of purpose and success. We are looking to instill hope and purpose for our justice involved youth through real-life stories and supports that results in driving home the understanding that our past doesn’t have to define our future because our future is not yet written.
Join us this year and every year so that our youth can see themselves as an integral part of space and, in doing so, a forward thinker in the contributions they can make right here on planet Earth. Next year (year 3), the goal is to host the CCBN Space Expo on a global scale so that youth can experience aspects of our entire planet to make informed choices of what their contribution to a better planet can be - and yes, we are well on our way to the 2023 global launch.
Take a SNEAK PEEK at the CCBN Space Expo Preview HERE
The CCBN Space Expo is FREE of charge thanks to people like you who are willing to give of their time, talents, and/or resources to encourage our youth to discover and/or follow their dreams to make space REAL for this generation and the next. We look forward to removing barriers together, with you… #aChanceToLeap

ABOUT THE CCBN 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
CCBN turned 50 this year and we invite you to celebrate with us while uplifting underserved health communities. Help CCBN reach its $60K goal for underserved health communities and Nursing scholarships while celebrating and experiencing Nursing past, present, and future! Hear about Colorado's health and Nursing history directly from those who were there and grab an opportunity to get free health or health care skills education at the same time! Be present as a witness to the awarding of honors to those who have trail-blazed the health arena toward equitable health for all. It's all about the opportunity to do your part, in any way you can, to support equitable health care as a basic human right. Let's watch those donation dollars climb, together! Celebrate all 3 days, for just an hour, or any amount of time in between from Friday, August 18 through Sunday, August 20, 2023
This is a fund-building event to support the scholarships and free events, services, and education that have been, and continue to be, donated by the Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc organization for 50 years and counting thanks to monetary and in-kind donations and sponsorships from health champions like you. 100% of net proceeds from the CCBN 50th Anniversary Celebration will be directly deposited in the Big 60 Fund, that has already raised over $7K of its $60K goal for Nursing scholarships and programs for underserved health communities.
