Join us for Northern Lights 2021 and learn together with colleagues from across Northern Ontario. Our Pan Northern Leadership Forum will include virtual sessions on the afternoons of February 25 and 26th along with pre Forum and post Forum online leadership development activities. Together we will explore Daring Leadership in an ever-changing and unpredictable world. Our clinical and educational settings need daring leadership. Dare to take a stand when those around you are sitting. Dare to take on a new role and learn how to deliver on mandates and dreams. Dare to engage in difficult conversations with courage and empathy. Dare to support leadership diversity, equity and inclusion on your teams, with your colleagues and at NOSM.
