On Saturday, June 22, 2024, the Philippine Nurses Association of San Antonio, Inc. hosted an unforgettable Aloha-themed Induction Celebration to welcome our dynamic 2024-2026 Executive Board. The event was a vibrant fusion of culture and camaraderie, symbolizing new beginnings and shared aspirations.
We were honored to have SCR Vice President Mr. Manny Ramos join us to officially induct our new board members. His inspiring words set the tone for an exciting new chapter for our association. Adding to the festivities, we received a heartfelt congratulatory message from San Antonio’s Honorable Mayor Ron Nirenberg, which truly made the evening special.
A huge shoutout to our incredible sponsors for making this event possible! Our Gold Sponsor, Powerhouse America, and Bronze Sponsor, Ms. Karen Gonzales in partnership with Thrive Mortgage, played a crucial role in the success of the celebration. Additionally, thank you to our volunteers who decorated, planned, and donated our raffle prizes and games!
Our team is brimming with experience, knowledge, passion, and commitment. - Carmina D. Cardona, President 2024-2026
