ENA Foundation Honors Three with Keystone Award
The Keystone Award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the ENA Foundation.
As part of ENA's annual awards gala, the ENA Foundation announced three deserving recipients of the prestigious Keystone Award: dedicated donor and ENA member Jackie Taylor-Wynkoop, the New Jersey ENA State Council, and corporate partner Stryker.
"Each of this year's Keystone Award recipients exemplifies the spirit of the award through their enduring support, leadership, and generosity," stated ENA Foundation Immediate Past Chairperson Amy Boren, MS, RN, CEN, CPEN, TCRN, who led the selection process of the awardees. "Jackie embodies the award through her guidance, vision, and passion. The New Jersey ENA State Council has fuelled the Foundation's record fundraising levels, ensuring the continuation of scholarship programs, project support, and philanthropic efforts. Additionally, Stryker's unwavering commitment and collaborative innovations continually make a significant impact."
Jackie Taylor-Wynkoop, RN, MSN, PHRN, FAEN, stands as a tireless advocate for the ENA Foundation and its mission. With decades of service to her credit, she has assumed leadership on multiple committees and served a term as Foundation trustee. Her steadfast belief in the transformative work of the Foundation, aimed at supporting emergency nurses, is evident. Inspired by her enduring commitment to the field, she initiated the Wynkoop Endowment, which provides vital support for veterans pursuing emergency nursing careers.
The New Jersey ENA State Council has emerged as a shining example of dedication for ENA state councils, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the ENA Foundation. They are well-regarded for their enthusiastic backing of the ENStrong campaign, actively promoting the Foundation during all state meetings and featuring it prominently at their annual conference. Their selflessness and generosity in giving have materialized into both an impact fund and an endowment, significantly benefiting the community.
Stryker has been a steadfast partner of the ENA Foundation for numerous years. Their consistent contributions have been crucial in advancing its mission, complemented by a strong presence on the Foundation's board through its corporate trustees. Stryker offers workshops, guidance, and partnerships that bolster the Foundation's objectives.
