President’s Message
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Filipino American Nurses Organization of Grand Canyon State (FANOGCS). It is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote and advance the nursing profession through education, leadership development, community service and global outreach. Our mission aligns with our motto: Knowledge, Empowerment and Service.
We at FANOGCS are in a humanitarian profession. My mantra is “To Serve and Encourage, to Lead and Unite.” As healthcare professionals, we are here to make a difference in the lives of others, and we can connect on a more personal, intimate level. May we all not get weary in serving, empowering, and encouraging all people we encounter in life. As with any other organization, unity and collaborative works is important. It is what allows its members to run like a well-oiled machine and achieve success. There is a saying that when the right partners come together in the right way, the synergies they achieve can lead to results well beyond the reach of any organization alone.
I encourage you to become part of a committee based on your interest: Education, Ways and Means, Membership, Bylaws, Public Healthcare, Community Outreach, Scholarship, Awards and Recognition, Newsletter and Legislation. I look Forward to your participation with our upcoming events as well.
Together, we can make adifference.
Respectfully,
Melody Eustaquio Orillo BSN, RN
President 2022-2024
