DEDICATION

The 2018 ASNA Annual Convention and House of Delegates is dedicated to Dr. Bobbie Holt-Ragler

The 2018 Annual ASNA Convention is dedicated to Dr. Bobbie Holt-Ragler. Dr. Holt-Ragler, or Bobbie as many of us affectionately know her, has been a member of the Alabama State Nurses Association (ASNA) and Mobile County Nurses Society since 1992. She has held the position of Treasurer at both the local and state level and is in her 10th year participating as a delegate representing her district at ASNA Annual Conventions.

Her accolades include numerous awards for excellence as a student, nurse, mentor, and leader. Bobbie has been recognized by her peers in nursing many times including the Lillian Holland Harvey Award, Sigma Theta Tau President's Award for Outstanding Service, Award for Excellence in Nursing Mentorship, and the Lillian B. Smith Award. In 1996 she wrote and produced the American Nurses Association's Convention and Centennial Celebration Theme Song "A Nurse's Tribute."

Phillipians 2:4 states, Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Bobbie lives this verse daily. She is a member of the Greater Allenville A.O.H. in Whistler, Alabama where she is involved in the ministry of music and Sunday School.

Her servant's heart shows through in her community work in programs to bring recognition and an end to domestic violence, advocating for the USA Center of Excellence for Healthy Communities to eliminate health disparities, the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association, and coaching elders at local libraries through the Matter of Balance program.

It is with great respect and affection we the nurses of the Alabama State Nurses Association dedicate this 105th ASNA Annual Convention to Dr. Bobbie Holt-Ragler.
