Welcoming Members

Welcome to our WA State NAPNAP Chapter!

A very warm welcome to our WA State chapter, to those renewing your membership, and to those new PNPs joining the profession. I am truly grateful for your interest in our chapter and delighted to extend a personal welcome to you all. I hope your professional life as a PNP has been as fulfilling as you anticipated it would be.

My name is Marijo Ratcliffe, and I am the past-president of our chapter as of July 1, 2025. If you are in the Seattle area, I'd be delighted to meet up for coffee at a location that suits your schedule. We can discuss our chapter, address any questions you may have, and explore areas that interest you further. If meeting in person isn't feasible, I am happy to schedule a call or Zoom meeting to get to know each other better.

I would also like you to be aware of our chapter website (https://community.napnap.org/washingtonstate/home), which we recently launched last year. This website, which is still under development, is designed to provide you with a wealth of resources and a platform for interaction within our chapter. However, we also have a second website (https://wanapnap.enpnetwork.com) that we continue to use for specific purposes, such as registering for CE events within our chapter. It is a bit more challenging to navigate, and we will eventually move everything to the new site,  https://community.napnap.org/washingtonstate/home. Please let me know if you need clarification on any aspect or are unable to locate the information.

I have also included a table below regarding a few of our current committees. Your potential involvement in these committees would bring valuable contributions to us all, should you be interested now or in the future. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to meet you all soon. Please know that you have our full support as you embark on this journey with us and join our statewide group.

Once again, welcome!
