President's Message

Building Connections, Elevating Practice: Your Role in  Shaping the Future of NC WOC Nursing

Dear NC WOC Nurses Group Members,

As your new president, I’m excited to share our vision for the year ahead.  Our goal is to strengthen connections, elevate education, and create opportunities for every member to thrive.  As we step into a new year, I want to remind you of the incredible value that comes with being a paid member of our organization.  Membership is more than just a title-it’s your gateway to meaningful networking with peers across the state, the ability to shape our future through voting rights, and access to elegant quarterly dinner meetings hosted by outstanding colleagues. These gatherings offer not only camaraderie but are also designed to enrich your practice and expand your professional circle, while providing opportunities to engage with our trusted industry partners.  

A few things to look forward to from the group is the ostomy donation drive in October for Ostomy Awareness month and forming a team for the Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K in Raleigh.  I am also excited to share a new intiative: group members will now have the opportunity to present case studies at the beginning of our meetings.  This is a fantastic way to showcase your expertise, learn from one another, and spark discussions that elevate our practice.  Your voice and experience matter, and this platform ensures they are heard.  Let’s make this year one of collaboration, education, and connection-starting with your active participation in the dinner meeting nearest you.

Renew or join today to secure your spot, share your knowledge, and help shape the future of WOC nursing in North Carolina!

To maintain professionalism and ensure smooth communication, please do not email the entire member list directly.  If you have announcements, requests, or information you’d like shared with the group, kindly send them to ncwocnurses@gmail.com and we will be sure they are distributed appropriately.
