The Annual General Meeting was held on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at the Holiday Inn Harbourview, Dartmouth. For the second year in a row, members of the College, as well as the public, were able to participate in Council’s annual general meeting either in-person or via webcast. The web broadcast enabled registered nurses from across the province hear and observe the meeting in ‘real time’.
