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.
