Want to create a display?

There are lots of ideas for drawing attention to your health and wellness resources. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be stellar or require artistic talents. And actually, if doesn't even have to be an exhibit or display. Often, if you have a bowl of fruit or healthy snacks that will bring meeting attendees to stop by and perhaps also review the resources and have a conversation. See the State Health and Wellness Resources page for some ideas.

If you'd like to easily add something visual, download this artwork, which your local print shop can produce into a 24" x 30" poster:

Committed to Promoting Professional Well-Being

Please note, the "Create a Health and Wellness Exhibit" toolkit replaces what was formerly the AANA's State Travel Wellness Exhibit program. The resounding success of requests for the popular traveling booths created many logistical challenges, especially during the busy Spring and Fall meeting seasons. We'll continue to add to this toolkit to help customize your display and resources for your state meetings. Any questions, contact wellness@aana.com or (847) 655-1114
