Conference Highlights 2006:

The 2006 conference was held on April 27-28 at the Clarion Prince Charles Hotel in Fayetteville, NC.

The conference was titled “Celebrating Advanced Practice: A Salute to Advances in Neonatal Care.” Please see the side column for the agenda. Attendees received a CANNP tote bag.

We tried a couple of new things this year. First, members were asked to submit a "Case of the Year" to be presented on Thurs. April 27th.  They were asked to think about babies they had taken care of and to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words detailing specifics about the case that they would like to be present.  Also, they were asked to include a CV including contact information. Second, we offered a reception with round table discussion on Thurs. evening with CEU credit!

The person who was selected to present the case study was rewarded with free conference registration!

Members of the conference planning committee were Lee Shirland, Judy Philbrook, Cindy Russell, Joan Lucas and Margy Priddy.

The committee worked hard to ensure a wonderful conference.
