Conference Overview
Join us for the 2008 Leadership Conference. Come and learn how influence, conviction, and creativity will take you successfully into the future—helping you to increase your staff’s job satisfaction and, in turn, help improve surgical patient outcomes.
Team collaboration, the aging nursing population, the quest to increase autonomy in decision making, and recruitment and retention are some of the important issues you will face. This year’s dynamic program brings together unprecedented leaders who will discuss how to change your surgical team environment by influencing behavior, gaining an understanding of how “failure is not final,” and obtaining essential keys to success in your work and life.
Leave this conference with a renewed passion for leadership, new insights, and specific steps you can take to be a successful leader in your work setting and your professional association.
