President -
Jacqui Krupa RN CGRN
Hello;
With over 30 years of nursing experience, I joined the GI community in 2012 and quickly developed a passion for education and professional involvement. After attending my first conference, I was encouraged to take on a greater role, leading me to join the board and further pursue leadership opportunities. I earned my CGRN certification in 2018 and have remained actively engaged ever since. Being part of this organization has provided meaningful opportunities for learning, networking and connection. I encourage others to take the next step and get invovled. its truly a rewarding experience.
