Welcome
Transforming Healthcare - What an awesome undertaking! Truly the work and expectations of nurse leaders in this arena hascreated an ever-increasing frenzy and need for innovative, yet outcome-proven care initiatives.
Once again, the PONL Symposium Committee, with their ear to the ground, has created a slate of symposium speakers that address the realtime issues that we are all facing on a day to day basis. This first class line up of topics and content experts creates a return on investment that is hard to resist from any vantage.
The overnight venue creates opportunities to explore the presented topics and to make and renew professional connections. Additionally, thanks to the support of our exhibitors and sponsors, booths and product demonstrations will be open during breaks, allowing you "quality time" to explore.
Finally, I encourage you to consider membership in PONL. In addition to educational programs and networking, the Practice Committee's work during this past year and PONL's involvement with legislative imperatives at both the state and federal levels provide the voice of nursing leadership in Pennsylvania. Your PONL membership fee also includes regional membership - a value-added to YOU and your professional voice.
Please join us for the symposium in Harrisburg this September. You certainly will be impressed!
Sincerely,
Terry McGoldrick
