The title of the conference will be "School Nurses- Waves of Change, Oceans of Opportunity".

The NESNC objectives include:
1) Improve collaborative partnerships at the local, state, and regional level to improve the school
nurse's practice in school health.
2) Provide multiple educational opportunities to regional school nurses that promote health and
disease prevention for self, students, and the school community.
3) Provide current research and evidence based information to attendees.
The Association of School Nurses of CT is an accredited provider of continuing education by the CT
Department of Education.

Attendees will receive 1 contact hour for each 60 minutes of attendance in educational sessions. Attendance at Saturday sessions will provide 5 contact hours, attendance at Sunday sessions will provide an additional 2.25 contact hours, for a total of 7.25 contact hours for the conference. School nurses who are Nationally Certified will be able to apply the contact hours to their certification.

Speakers have been selected by the Speaker committee. We are very excited to announce that the CT
NESNC will offer 3 keynote speakers. In addition, 4 selections for breakout sessions will be available in
both the morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday plus 3 selections will be available on Sunday
morning.
This conference will enable you to attend education sessions that are directly applicable to your work. It
will also make it possible for you to build a professional network with school health experts and
colleagues from around the region
