I have spent several days responding to the H1N1 issue.  It occurs to me that having a collective, professional voice is an asset.  Our ability to have partners such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Camp Nurses is an asset. The ability to tell parents that if they have chosen an ACA accredited camp that they can be assured that camp has established screening procedures for illness, injury, and communicable diseases  - is an asset.  We have developed these assets, and more,  for nearly a 100 years.  It is situations like this one that can only suggest to us that it is very important that ACA, as an associaton, does what it needs to do in order to remain strong and relevant.
