In August, the Senate honored the 100th anniversary of the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEn Nacional). The session included discussions on the professional valuation of nurses, specifically regarding minimum wage floors, working hours, and public health policies. Speakers emphasized the association’s historical role in the struggle for redemocratization and its service to diverse communities. In September, the Senate approved requests for sessions to mark the 80th anniversary of two administrative bodies: the Diretoria-Geral (Dger) and the Secretaria-Geral da Mesa (SGM). These departments, established in 1946, provide administrative management, logistical support, and legislative process oversight for the Senate and Congress. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Brazilian Senate to hold special sessions for 80th anniversary of administrative bodies The Brazilian Senate will hold special sessions to celebrate the 80th anniversary of its administrative and legislative support bodies, the Diretoria-Geral and the Secretaria-Geral da Mesa. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-senate-to-hold-special-sessions-for-80th-anniversary-of-administrative-bodies ### 2026-08-12: Brazilian Senate celebrates 100 years of the Brazilian Nursing Association The Brazilian Senate held a special session to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEn), debating professional rights, wages, and the role of nursing in public health. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-senate-celebrates-100-years-of-the-brazilian-nursing-association --- Cite as: Brazilian Senate institutional commemorations.
