Maryann Wee is a risk management expert and was the first in-state risk
management consultant for a major insurer of hospitals in Mississippi. In 1989, she joined
Medical Assurance Company of Mississippi to develop the risk management program for the
insured physicians and currently serves as the Director of Risk Management Services. In that
capacity she develops and coordinates risk programs as well as presents educational programs
to physicians and their staff. She has provided over 600 programs on risk management topics
including national presentations. Maryann Wee has eight publications in the areas of
computerized data banking, stroke and risk management.
She received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing at the University of Maryland at

the Stroke Data Bank Project which was under the auspices of NIH.
Rebekah Gregory is a simple small town woman and mother whose life was forever
changed due to the events of the Boston marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. This
horrible act of terrorism left her as one of the names of the seventeen amputees and
therefore permanently handicapped at the young age of only twenty-six years old.
Instead of being bitter, Rebekah has used her platform in a huge way by encouraging
others worldwide. Speaking out about her story and own daily obstacles, she believes that
life's struggles are not only meant to teach us lessons, but make us better versions of
ourselves than before. Rebekah's delivery with her quick wit and contagious optimism is
sure to have everyone feeling inspired and ready to make their own life changes.
Outlining her popular phrase, "with every new day comes new hope" she never fails to
leave her audience ready to "change the world."

members of Florida Nurse Practitioner Network in 2002, serving as past president and continues to
serve on the board. In 2008, Dr. Aertker received her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Case Western
Reserve University. She is a NP entrepreneur owning a successful NP Occupational Health practice
since 1998. She is FNP board certified with over 32 years in that role.
As a USAF Nurse Corp veteran, Dr. Aertker was first introduced to the role of the NP in 1974 and has
since held many leadership roles in nursing and in the community. She feels the DNP is essential to
moving our practice forward as we seek full rights & privileges to practice.
