come together in a collegial environment, sharing their success stories,
identifying common challenges, debating practical application strategies
and learning from the experiences of others.
We invite all interested nurses involved in leadership roles at all
levels to consider submitting an abstract for either concurrent session
presentation or poster presentation. The two day conference program
format is filled with a series of multiple concurrent sessions, hands on
networking cafes, and our acclaimed Poster Session. This year we are
adding 2 new opportunities in addition to the concurrent paper session,
poster poster presentation and networking café. There is now an option
of submitting for a “how to” workshop or an interactive roundtable
dialogue.
Based on evaluation feedback, the focus for this year is on completed
work, sharing of lessons learned and applicability to other settings and
