CHAPTER MEETINGS
The New England Chapter of the WOCN® holds regional zoom meetings three times a year in conjunction with educational conferences. Fall Conference is held in October. In addition, a chapter meeting is held during national conference, usually in June. Watch the conference schedule for days and times. Chapter meetings provide a forum for discussion of professional issues affecting WOC/ET nursing practice and provide an opportunity to keep abreast of regional activities. Submit concerns to the New England Chapter President for inclusion in any meeting’s agenda.
