CHAPTER MEETINGS

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.
