United Nations Special Consultative Status

It is with great excitement that I share with you the wonderful news that the United Nations Economic & Social Council has approved the Transcultural Nursing Society's(TCNS) application and granted us Special Consultative Status. This is truly an honor for our organization and a testament to our dedication to promoting transcultural caring on a global scale.

Please join me in expressing our sincerest appreciation to the dedicated TCNS members who comprised the Board appointed UN Task Force that drafted the submission - thank you for your hard work and dedication!

Beth Lincoln, Dula Pacquiao, Hiba Wehbe-Alamah, Stephen Marrone, Linda Sobel, Lisa Dobson, Susan R. Allen, and Beverly Horn

Finally, I would also like to extend gratitude to the Board of Trustees, current and past, who assisted with this project!

It takes a village - and we have an amazing one!

With caring,
