NWONE is committed to the development and support of existing and aspiring nurse leaders within the Pacific Northwest region. Benefits of membership are most generally appreciated through:

• The opportunity to network with and learn from nurse colleagues in the region, to share information, build professional relationships and skills and enhance knowledge through interaction with others.

• The ability to attend contemporary educational programs, retreats and regional events where members are given discounted tuition rates.

• Participation in coalitions in which regional nurse leaders come together in common and powerful voice around issues of shared concern. Such issues may pertain to quality, patient safety, legislation, education, models of care delivery or issues related to scope of practice.

• Participation with local and regional colleagues in NWONE commissions, committees, task forces and coalitions and to be enriched with leadership development through that process.

• The opportunity to mentor others and to be mentored while building a sustaining network of professional colleagues that expands beyond the employment setting.

• The opportunity to appreciate, participate in, and contribute to your profession, and to the global contribution that nursing brings to the advancement of health care.
