NEW ENGLAND WOCN CONFERENCES

Due to concerns regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, the Fall 2020 Conference has been postponed until Fall 2021 

New England WOCN holds an annual fall conference. Each year at our regional fall conference, the New England Region holds an auction to raise funds to send youth and counselors from this area to the National UOAA Youth Rally. Baskets full of goodies native to our various New England States are auctioned, along with other assorted items.

REGIONAL MEETINGS

The New England Region WOCN holds regional meetings three times a year in conjunction with educational conferences.  Spring and Fall meetings are held in March or April and October, respectively, just prior to the education program.  In addition, a regional meeting is held during national conference, usually in June. Watch the conference schedule for days and times.

Regional 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 Region President for inclusion in any meeting’s agenda.
