Time is money and both are precious commodities in today's over stressed environment. Knowing that, PONL has designed this conference to give you a value added boost to your time and money bank.
Our line-up of speakers will bring you the latest information on issues that are keeping many nurse leaders up at night. The mix of management, technology and current Pennsylvania political topics will prepare you for Leadership for Our Time - The Transformation of People, Processes and Outcomes. Our vendor and sponsor exhibits will provide you the opportunity to explore current products. And most of all, you will have the opportunity to network with your peers from across Pennsylvania.
This conference and other educational events throughout the year supplement the advocacy and the information connections that PONL provides. PONL is the voice of nursing leaders. If you are not a current member, I invite you to join us in Harrisburg. Try us out. Consider joining PONL. See you in October.
Sincerely,
Terry McGoldrick
