ENGLEWOOD , Colo. -- The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU), a worldwide leader in money transfer services, is proud to be a sponsor of the 29th Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) Annual National Convention. The event themed “Powering the Passion for Nursing!” will be held at the Radisson Resort Hotel in South Padre Island , Texas from July 16 to July 20, 2008. The five-day convention will feature an array of topics that will enhance leadership, professional development, clinical excellence, continuing education, and achievement of personal goals.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Western Union is sponsoring the PNAA annual convention.
“With Western Union , we constantly try to promote knowledge and professional excellence within the community we serve, and partnering with PNAA allows us to provide further education and leadership within the community of Filipino nurses,” said Shirleen Velasquez, senior marketing manager, US Outbound Philippines. “We are very proud and honored to be supporting the PNAA year after year.”

JUST AN INQUIRY: I have received an email informing me that I have won 250,000 (GBP)from Western Union Money Team. I want to know if your company really has this promo. They suggest that I should contact the Events Manager - ALVINE JOHNSON. I just want to ask if is this really so?
