Dear New England Region Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society Members,
A full month in 2020 is complete. Our conference in October was a success! The holidays have come and gone and the new year has started. I am looking forward to leading you over the next two years as your President. The beginning of a new year is always a good time to get focused and revitalized.
One of our main goals as a region is providing a productive and educational yearly conference. We do a great job making this a successful event due to teamwork. We all have different strengths as WOC Nurses and it these differences that make our team strong. We have knowledgeable and talented members within our region. I would like to recognize Priscilla Poirier and Angela Braswell as speakers at our Fall 2019 conference. In addition, I would also like to recognize the Challenges speakers: Jennifer Godfrey, Erika Dilbarian, Catherine Hull, Ellen Duell, Anne Fitzgerald, Emilie Schlitt, Juliet Starr, Siobhan Nevin and Sandy Hughes. I encourage you to become involved with the region and network with your WOC colleagues.
