News Update: January 13, 2003
Dear Colleague,
The New Year brings many exciting events and challenges for PCR. In an effort to enhance communication with the membership, the Board of Directors would like to share the following information with you and your Support Group.
- The Spring PCR Meeting will be held March 7th in Los Angeles. Our keynote speaker will discuss complementary therapy in wound management. Also included are hands-on round table discussions and presentations on a variety of topics. Installation of officers will also take place as well as our general membership meeting.
- Nominations for officers for the October meeting will close in March. Please encourage all PCR members to consider running for an office.
- Award presentations will highlight the contributions of various PCR members. Criteria for awards are included in this packet of information.
- Nomination and award criteria are also available on the PCR website: www.pcr.org
- Liaison relationships between a Board member and each support group have been created to encourage better communication from the general membership to the Board and vise versa. Information in this packet will be given to you by your liaison member.
- To encourage professional growth and development for our membership, we are enclosing a sign-in sheet to be used at your Support Group meetings. We want to encourage participation in our organization. One way to accomplish this is to identify who attends Support Group meetings. You can give your completed form to your liaison Board member after each meeting.
As your new President and Vice President, we are committed to open communication with you and your Support Group. Feel free to contact us as the need arises. A listing of all PCR Board of Directors can be found on the PCR web site for additional contacts.
We will celebrate our 30th year as a region in October at our Fall conference in San Diego. Additional information will be forthcoming regarding the exciting events our Education Coordinator has for us.
Sincerely,
Judy Papen, RN, MSN, CNS, CWOCN
