NEW ENGLAND WOCN CONFERENCES
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 from our various New England States are auctioned, along with other assorted items.
​

Please check here often, we will post information as it becomes available. You may also send email messages or questions to NewEnglandWOCNEducation@gmail.com

REGIONAL MEETINGS
The New England Region WOCN holds regional zoom meetings three times a year in conjunction with educational conferences. Fall Conference is held in October. 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.
