Leadership Conference

Leadership Conference
This year, we are holding the Leadership Conference in Canton, Ohio on April 13th, 2013.

The conference will take place at Aultman College of Nursing and Health Sciences. There, state-of-the-art nursing labs and teaching facilities will be utilized in order to help spark new student nursing chapters as well as invigorate existing chapters through intimate breakout sessions. Attendees will not only learn about the many possible chapter positions that can be held within such a student body, but will also network with other institutions and share ideas for future nursing endeavors in budding student organizations.

The program will last from 10:00am to 4:00pm, with both breakfast and lunch being provided!

Registration and sign-in are free and will be from 9:30am to 10:00am.

We will also have community service opportunities for the end of the day, which will bring the conference to a close at 4:00pm.

We are looking for students from each school that are yearning to develop nursing chapters and improve their college nursing community. In the past, institutions have carpooled students to ONSA events in order to represent their schools well.

Please contact Knox Sanders 419.346.5700. to confirm your school’s attendance! Please include student name, current year of study, as well as the name of your college or university!
